Also, parents we will have a copy of the Regents Athletic Policy for you when you drop your children off. This policy consists of guidelines and rules for all sports here at RSO.
Check the Regents website often for changes. Please do not rely on e-mail or phone calls. Coach Daniel will be updating the Football page on the web-site under the Athletics tab to keep everyone notified of changes and you can e-mail him at cdaniel@regentsofoxford.org with questions. We have already had some changes to the schedule which was printed in the June Regents Report. The Central Academy game has been moved to Oxford! We will play at the OPC fields at 5:00. Pee Wee will not play against Central Academy. Also, the dates of the North Delta and ICCE games have been swapped.
FYI - Dr. Doug Sanford is working with Coach Daniel to help prevent heat exhaustion and injury problems. Spending some time outside in the heat before practices start will be beneficial to you to get your body accustomed to working out in the summer temperatures.
Thanks so much for your support! Go Lions!

Regents Olympics!!!!
The Sixth Annual Regents Olympics was a success!!!! The Third Grade, representing the country of Greece, hosted the games. The running of the torch and opening ceremony began the games. Shortly after the games were declared open, the rain came. But... we were not deterred. We moved the games into the gym, and were able to complete them outside after the storm passed. It was a great way to finish the 2009-2010 school year. A special thanks goes out to Mrs. Robinson and the Third Grade parents for helping organize this year's Olympics!
Enjoy the video below of the whole event!

Spring Field Trips at Regents
Fifth Grade Trip to Ivy Green and The American Village
Mrs. Jones' class at The American Village.Mrs. Jones' Fifth Grade class recently returned from a fun-filled, educational trip to Alabama. First, they traveled to Tuscumbia, AL to visit Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller. They were able to experience something truly uplifting as they toured her home and touched the actual well-pump where Anne Sullivan reached into the dark silent world of young Helen Keller's mind and opened the window of communication. Next, the class traveled south of Birmingham to Montevallo, AL to visit the American Village. This was like stepping back into time to experience life as it was during the colonial days of America. We are glad they had a wonderful trip.
Second Grade Trip to Huntsville
Miss Holmes' class at the US Space and Rocket Center.Miss Holmes' Second Grade class traveled to Huntsville, Alabama this Spring to visit the US Space and Rocket Center. It was a fun-filled day as they learned all about our country's space program. They rode rides, toured the museum, climbed the "Moon Climbing Wall", and watched an I-Max movie about the USA's journeys to the moon. We are thankful for a great trip!Fourth Grade Trip to Atlanta
Mrs. Carr's class at the Renaissance Festival.Mrs. Carr's fourth grade class recently returned from a two night trip to Atlanta, Georgia. They spent the first day at Medieval Times where they dined while enjoying a show with Medieval Knights who set out to rescue a young prince who had been kidnapped. Our school cheered on the knights (especially the "Black and White knight") as they competed in Medieval games, jousted, fought bravely with sword and shield, and eventually rescued the prince and returned him to his young bride. The second day, the class went to a Renaissance Fair. They heard people talk about Davinci and Shakespeare, while learning about chivalry and superstitions during that time. It was like stepping back into time, and experiencing what life was like at a Renaissance Festval. It was a great trip!Sixth Grade Trip to New Orleans
Mrs. Jones' class in the front of the New Orleans Aquarium.The Regents Sixth Grade class recently traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana. As a celebration of the curriculum, the sixth graders toured the World War II Museum, which proved to be an informative and emotionally moving experience. The class also visited the New Orleans Aquarium and spent some time in the French Quarter, having breakfast at Cafe Du Monde. A look around New Orleans at the affects of Hurricane Katrina was also very sobering. We're glad they had a safe trip!
Third Grade Trip to Nashville
Mrs. Robinson's class in front of the Parthenon.Mrs. Robinson's third grade class took an overnight trip to Nashville, Tennessee. On the first day, the class toured Cheekwood Botanical Gardens to tie in their year's study of Botany, followed by a wonderful dinner at the Aquarium Restaurant. After reading Haans Brinker aloud in class this year, Mrs. Robinson decided to take her class ice skating the following morning. This was a hit for both students and parents!!! After skating, we enjoyed a much needed rest and picnic in Centennial Park, overlooking Nashville's Parthenon. To coincide with their studies of Ancient Greece and the Greek gods and goddesses, the class toured the Parthenon, a to-scale replica of the ancient Parthenon that stands on the Acropolis in Athens. We are thankful that they had beautiful weather and a safe trip!
Here's a look at the wonderful faces that make up our school!
