Geometry classes:

Thank you so much to everyone that has donated boxes and toilet paper rolls. We are still in need of some kind of spheres. These can be foam spheres (can be purchased at walmart) or balls of any kind - as long they're round! Thanks so much! -Miss Pase

To High School families:

The Lake Brazos Rotary Club has offered to sponsor a Foreign Exchange student for Rapoport Academy next year.  We have tentatively agreed based on host family availability. The next step is to make sure we have 2-3 families that would be willing to host that student.  The student would spend a portion of the year with each family and a monthly allowance will be paid to the student by the Rotary Club.  If you have an interest in being a “host family” for a foreign exchange student, please email Gaylene Reed at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it as soon as possible.  She will collect the names and contact information  and present to the High School Leadership Team and Administration  to start the selection process.    I hope we have several parents interested!!! What a great opportunity!

Thanks everyone!
