With a rhythmic beat-beat-beat of drums, a roaring rah-rah-rah, and a rousing sis-boom-bah the AR Express marched through Rockfish Elementary School with the award winning Marching Tigers, varsity cheerleaders, and football team from South View Senior High School.  With the strut and stride of pride, triumphant students from grades 2 through 5, who met their Accelerated Reading goals for the first nine weeks, boarded the Express for a parade through the school and onto the school grounds.  Once outside, 200 students were honored with an enthusiastic program of lively music, energetic cheers, and snappy high-fives. Initiated by Rockfish principal, Suzanne Owen, AR Express has become an effective motivation to student success.
