While having lunch one day in January, Rock Springs Junior High School student Braxton Gates noticed a nearby student clutching his hands to his throat and starting to choke. Some of the nearby students did not even realize he was in distress. Braxton ran over and performed the Heimlich maneuver while another student ran to get an adult. When the adult arrived, the student was breathing on their own and had been able to dislodge the item he was choking on. Braxton’s family has been practicing the Heimlich maneuver and CPR at home and everyone is so proud of him for his willingness to help out one of his peers.
Braxton even had his own cheering section at February's board meeting.
Tonight, we are recognizing Tina Searle and Ron Urbin for the efforts they have made in instilling PBIS District wide. Tina has made enormous progress in establishing a PBIS process at Eastside and ensuring that students and staff are safe and cared for. You have accomplished so much in a short amount of time. Ron is doing an amazing job of making sure that PBIS is fully engrained within the school. He has even posted the PBIS updates in the faculty bathrooms! Thank you both for your support.

Student Teachers for Spring 2020
Rock Springs High School drama students returned from the Wyoming State Thespian Festival in December with a second-place award in the sweepstakes competition – the high school’s top finish ever. The competition is annually organized by the Wyoming Educators of Secondary Theatre and hosted by the University of Wyoming Department of Theatre and Dance. The three-day event in Laramie is dedicated to presenting and adjudicating the performance, technical and design work of Wyoming theater students. Students from more than 30 Wyoming high schools competed in a variety of performance and design events, including monologues, scenic design and costume design. Each school could also bring one group performance in proscenium, arena or devised.

Representing the troupe tonight are the following individuals from the Thespian Student Leadership:

President Damaris Ruiz
Vice-President Catie Spann
Public Relations Destiny Britton
Secretary Mikayla Shauers
Technical Lead Jaden Tijerina
Troupe Director R. Sterling Merrill

Congratulations Tiger Thespian Troupe for being awarded the 4A State Sweepstakes Runner Up!
