Synopsis

 

The Rockport High School Drama Llamas will soon mount their production of Little Shop of Horrors.  It is the story of a meek, floral assistant – Seymour Krelborn – who stumbles across a new breed of plant life.  As the plant grows, it learns to talk and sing and make promises of unending fame and fortune to down-on-his-luck Seymour.  In return, all Seymour has to do is keep the plant well-fed on human blood!  Over time, though Seymour discovers that the plant is after more than just a meal; this visitor from outer-space is bent on global domination!  This musical, which features rock & roll, doo-wop and Motown tunes, takes a satirical look at science fiction, "B" movies and musical comedy itself. 

 

Features of this Production:

The RHS Drama Llamas have proudly built their own series of plant puppets to bring the man-eating plant to life.  Pictures with the plant will follow the matinées.

This show is rated PG for language and planticide.

Teachers play a key role in student success and sometimes a simple “thanks” is all a teacher needs to feel valued. Take the time to celebrate your students’ teachers during 2014 PTA Teacher Appreciation Week^SM May 5-9.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of the RMS drama festival play, "Action News: Now with 10% More Action" for their strong showing at Saturday's festival. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the play, and it received a Silver Medal from the judges. Additionally, three actors were singled out by the judges for their outstanding performances and were named to the All-Star Cast: Ben Adams, Clara Mazo, and Troy Edmonds. 

May 2, 2014

Please allow me to thank the senior citizens of Rockport who opened their homes to members of the Rockport High School Class of 2014 on Friday, May 2, 2014.  On Friday the Class of 2014 participated in our annual “Seniors Helping Seniors” event.

“Seniors Helping Seniors” was an opportunity for members of the Class of 2014 to give back to their community and to say thank you.  The students appreciate the years of support they have received from all of the residents of Rockport.  The students did jobs around the homes of seniors who needed a helping hand.  The students were all over town raking leaves, clipping bushes, putting in air conditioners, replacing screens, and cleaning out garages, closets, and sheds.  Thank you to Diane Bertolino and the Rockport Council on Aging, the Rockport Police Department, and the Rockport Department of Public Works for helping us to coordinate this inter-generational give back event.  Look for us again next year.  Again thank you for allowing the students into your homes!

Sincerely,

Philip Conrad, Principal

Rockport Middle/High School

Rockport High School would like to gratefully acknowledge Boston MedFlight, the Rockport Police Department, the Rockport Fire Department, the Rockport Ambulance Service, Beauport Ambulance Service, Greeley Funeral Home, and the Rockport High School Peer Leaders for their assistance in presenting the Boston MedFlight Safe Teens program to our high school students on Monday, April 14, 2014.

The Boston SafeTeens Program is an outreach effort by Boston MedFlight designed to promote teen safety and good decision making skills.  The program includes a dramatic reenactment of a fatal car crash, with community emergency responders and Boston MedFlight personnel.  The program illustrates the severe consequences of distracted driving which includes alcohol, texting, too many people in the car, and other behaviors that create a lack of awareness for the driver.  The reenactment will allow students to experience the impact a serious car crash can have on a community.  Boston MedFlight has designed the program so that communities may offer a preventive education program to students.  The Safe Teens Program incorporates the use of a Boston MedFlight helicopter as an emergency responder in the mock scenario.

We are especially grateful to Mary Arredondo, Jennifer Lewis, and Ryan Mueller of Boston MedFLight.  Ryan, a Rockport native, shared his experiences with the students including a recent call that involved the death of a New Hampshire teenager.  We also want to thank Chief Tom McCarthy, Sergeant Tim Fithsen, and Officer Philip Wesley of the Rockport Police, Chief Jim Doyle and Assistant Chief Kirk Keating of the Rockport Fire Department, and Amy Rose and Amanda Mattson our Rockport High School Peer Leader Advisors

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rockport Rotary Club for their generous financial support of this and many other programs designed to make our community safer, stronger, and more aware.

Report cards are coming!  Report cards are coming!  Please be on the look out for RMHS report cards.  They were printed today and are on their way home.

Hi everyone,

We will be swapping C and D Block on Monday. C Block will meet from the end of the homeroom period after the assembly which is after the mock crash.  C Block will run until 11:01 at which point we will be back on a regular Monday schedule.
