4th Grade Students Win Honorable Mention in DuPont Challenge!

Students in 4th grade participated in the national DuPont Challenge Elementary Division Science Writing Challenge.  Mrs. Ray, 4th grade teacher, and Mrs. Symonds, media specialist, collaborated to pair research skills with science and writing standards.  Out of many entries, three student teams from RTE won Honorable Mention for their entries titled: The Sky Launchers, Starites, and Mars Stars.   Each team has been awarded a Dupont Challenge Plaque and the school will receive science standards based books.  Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Symonds are very excited to have Honorable Mention winners in our inaugural entries in this nationally renowned contest!
