Russellville Principal's Report for April 8
Welcome Back!
Spring Break ended in the most Kentucky Spring of ways…with snow! That said, the snow melted quickly and it looks like a busy and nice week ahead. We have some important dates in the coming weeks. We have seven weeks left of school; a total of 33 school days.

Due to the Lady Panther Softball Team’s win in the All A Regional Championship and advancement to the All A State Championship Tournament which falls on the same date as Prom, several options are being explored for an alternate date. Prom will not be scheduled at a date before April 28 and may remain on that date if a better overall date is not available. A final date will be made known to all students by this Wednesday.
Band Travels to Disney for Spring Break
RHS Band Director Brian Brown and Assistant Band Director Trevor Cardwell, along with a host of parents, took the RHS Band to Disney World this Spring Break where the highly decorated Panther Marching Band performed in a parade at Epcot Center in the Magic Kingdom. The performance capped off a marching band season that saw the Panthers advance to state as well as earning honors upon honors for individual performances. Band numbers at RHS and RMS are at all-time highs and the addition of Mr. Cardwell to the Stevenson staff as a 5th grade band director has over 40 students participating, a staggering number when one considers that that means that one of every two future 6th graders is in the band program.
