On Thursday and Friday, all students and staff will be participating in “Read Across Rowlett” (RAR). Read Across Rowlett was created by Dr. Patricia Ruggiero, a life-long learner, avid reader, and founding member of Rowlett Middle Academy. Dr. Ruggiero’s vision was to create a community of readers by pausing traditional instruction multiple times a year to allow students and staff time to read a novel together. Read Across Rowlett allows for students and staff to share a common experience of reading the same novel while participating in discussions and learning experiences about the book and topics based around the book’s theme.
To provide a high-quality educational experience for all students that will foster leadership and a love of learning for a diverse population by promoting creativity through arts and communication.
