A new month means a new Regal Eagle. However being regal or an Eagle is not new to Mr. Woods as he is without a doubt both. The fact he graduated a Blackhawk will not be held against him today. Raymond Woods dedicated his life to education and specifically 21 years to my favorite school in my favorite village. Mr Woods shaped and molded our school to the best of his abilities not just for his time but for the future as well. He played key roles in getting the little gym or “new gym” as my grandpa called it, and the library built. He influenced as many young teachers as he did students. His love for the village and school within it has never wavered and we are grateful for all that he has given and done.

Over the weekend, Rome Grade School lost a member of their school community, Braden Tate. TOMORROW, let's wear GREEN to support their school, their community, Braden's family, and all those who mourn his loss.

In difficult times, we stand together to support one another.
