Local Latinx Author visits RAUC
 Last Friday, local Latinx author Jennifer De Leon visited our 8th graders at RAUC. During the visit, Ms. De Leon led an honest conversation about race and belonging. She shared key questions that shaped her identity: Where are you from? Where are you from-from? Where are you really from? 8th graders also asked her their own questions about her experience as a writer and any advice.

6th grade field experience to Fresh Pond
 Rindge Avenue 6th graders are piloting a new learning experience for the 6th grade district interdisciplinary science/social studies–field experiences! These are different than “field trips.” Students went to Fresh Pond last week to do field work around a range of interdisciplinary topics (reservoirs, earth science, indigenous people, for example). We are proud that our students and teachers are helping enrich district learning opportunities!

Seeking donations for RAUC Snack Pantry
Our snack pantry was an experiment this year–can we find a way to have enough snacks for anyone who wanted one, using donations and FRAUC contributions? What we have learned is that it is a challenge to keep our pantry full. We will continue the snacks this year as long as we have supplies. Thank you to FRAUC for their ongoing support. Your contributions will help as well.
