RI DISTRICT 33 NEWS
|
From the Chief of Staff at CCRI: As the school welcomed back thousands of students, he extended an invitation to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Student Services space on our Warwick Campus. The Student Services spaces were completely gutted and renovated thanks to a $12 million GO bond in 2021, transforming the space from a dark, non-accessible rabbit hole into a bright, spacious, and centralized new area, ready to welcome our students, including an elevator – something that was sorely lacking in the old space. State Senator Lou Raptakis was honored to be there and participated in the ribbon-cutting festivities.

You never forget, because if you forget something, history always repeats itself. We want to be vigilant and to prevent anything like this happening again.” To read the original story by Kayla Fish and Leah Crowley, click/tap here.

The proclamation states that new legislation passed this year by the General Assembly allows teachers or administrators in Rhode Island public schools to hold a brief moment of silence after the pledge of allegiance on the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. The new law, ceremonially signed Thursday afternoon by Gov. Dan McKee, was modeled on a measure enacted in New York to commemorate the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon."
