First Cups and Connections with the Principal hosted at RTA for the new school year

Rebecca Turner Academy families came together Wednesday morning for “Cups and Connections with the Principal”, engaging in conversation with Dr. Green over coffee and doughnuts. Families shared ideas, complaints and concerns while receiving updates on teacher vacancies and other school matters.

Parents also exchanged community resources and offered suggestions for the school’s webpage, parent-led workshops and ways to help scholars enjoy books. Dr. Green plans to host two additional gatherings, one midyear and another at the end of the school year, to keep these conversations going. Thank you, families, for sharing your voices and ideas!

Rebecca Turner Academy students compete in Spelling Bee

Rebecca Turner Academy hosted its Annual Spelling Bee yesterday, continuing a long-standing tradition from Cecil H. Parker School, and it remained an event many scholars looked forward to this year. As members of the Parker School community transitioned to RTA, this tradition came with them, bringing together scholars, staff, and families in celebration of academic achievement and school pride.

Rebecca Turner Academy students bring women's suffrage to life with performance

Students at Rebecca Turner Academy brought the fight for voting rights to life in "Votes for Women," a powerful production by fifth- and sixth-graders. Portraying trailblazers like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ida B. Wells and Alice Paul, scholars explored the long journey to the 19th Amendment while sharpening their performance skills along the way. A true collaboration across grade levels and a meaningful lesson in justice and equality. Kudos to Ebony Cooper for guiding this inspiring experience!
