Buy A Yearbook! by Dov Rosenberg, Yearbook Advisor
The '07-'08 yearbook is better than ever!! For the second year in a row, the Rogers-Herr yearbook has won an award for excellence so you know you want to grab this piece of Rogers-Herr history! Yearbooks are just $36 so hurry up before they're all gone! Yearbooks can still be purchased through the main office.
The National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform is based in Champaign, Ill and chooses "Schools to Watch" that infuse academic excellence, developmental appropriateness, and democratic education principles. Rogers-Herr is the only middle school in North Carolina to be named a School to Watch this year and joins Shepard and Carrington Middle Schools who received the honor in the past two years. Only 26 other schools in North Carolina have this distinction.
Many Rogers-Herr students and faculty are pictured or quoted in this article, including Ms. Cline who said, "We know what each kid needs as far as applying pressure or giving support... They know we will not allow them to fail." Mr. Sawyer is quoted as saying, "While we prepare students for testing, it's also important to prepare them for other aspects of living and knowing." We encourage you to take a few moments to read this great article now!
