Rochester Memorial Minute

The RMS students did an amazing job showcasing their inquisitive minds, creativity and musical talents. The student art work on display looked amazing and brightened up our school. The science projects were well done and highlighted some great wonderings. In addition, the musical talent at RMS is outstanding. Thank you to all of our students for sharing their talents and ideas. Our students have grown so much in their confidence, poise and self-awareness. Well done TEAM.

Our TEAM consisted of Mr. Huckabee, Mrs. Hemenway, Mrs. Laprise, and Mrs. Audette. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to creating an outstanding community night that highlighted our students' work. Well done TEAM!

We’re raising $40,000 for field trips, enrichment, and assemblies and we need your help. Save the date and stay tuned for more details on how you can support our cause.

Whether it’s singing, dancing, magic, comedy, or any other talent, we want to see the creativity and passion that makes RMS special! All RMS students are invited to participate, whether as a solo performer or as part of a group.

Here’s what you need to know:
