Shannen Calandra propels RFA girls lacrosse to victory over undefeated Whitesboro. Rome and Whitesboro played on 5/1 as they both came in as undefeated in the TVL. Rome won 14-5 and Shannen led our offense with 4 goals. Shannen not only led our team in goals against Whitesboro, but she does so much more than what the stats show. Her hard work and constant hustle is second to none. Shannen leads by example on the field and is deadly when she gets the ball in the 8.
Shannen currently has 17 goals, 3 assists and 9 ground balls so far this season.

Rome Rotary Club Presents Scholarships to 3 Graduating RFA Seniors
The Rome Rotary Club has presented a trio of graduating seniors at Rome Free Academy with scholarships during a presentation at the Lake Delta Yacht Club on Tuesday, June 28.
During the presentation, two RFA seniors, Lauren Dorfman and Joseph Keeney, were presented scholarships for best representing the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self”. The scholarship recipients have participated in an array of school activities, church and community service and wrote a brief essay on what the Rotary motto means to them, as well as intending to further their education.
The second scholarship, presented to Frank Till, is for students who intend to attend Mohawk Valley Community College and then follow careers in one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields.
Congratulations graduates!
