The Pride Day 2010 honoree, chosen by student council was Mr. Charles Hodson, director of bands for R-PHS. Mr. Hodson’s twenty year career as leader of our Rocket Instrumental Music program made for an easy choice for student council. Under Mr. Hodson’s leadership, our marching band has won eight state championships and one national championship. The wind ensembles consistently earn top ratings in MSBA competitions year in and year out and the jazz band is second to none!
The student council staged the best Pride Day in recent memory. The students enjoyed a hearty lunch served by staff and then were off to participate in games and activities such as: bull riding, ultimate frisbee, home run derby, basketball, soccer, chalk art, volleyball, floor hockey, kickball, starcraft, dunk tank, moon walk, obstacle course, tennis, guitar hero, karaoke, softball, flag football, open weightlifting, car show, sodoku, horse riding and listening to a rock band.
Many thanks go to Mr. Marshall, Mr. Hankinson and the student council members that were responsible for organizing the events and activities for the day. It was surely a day to remember!
Being a Rocket is just plain cool!
