Mr. Kaufmann wanted to share the following:
“I want to congratulate Mark King once again as the newest Eagle Scout for the Thunderbird District class of 2026. I had the privilege to participate in his Eagle ceremony as an Eagle Scout, class of 1992, by delivering his Eagle Charge. Mark is a special kid, and we are so proud of his accomplishments. RBW appreciates his efforts on his Eagle project earlier this year, where he refurbished the greenhouse. We look forward to really putting this into use next school year.”
