At any moment, great things are happening at RAMS! This moment captures students in Mr. Larsen’s class as they prep ingredients for their Chicken Soup and Pumpkin Bar meal. Students shared that eating is their favorite part about this FACS elective course, followed closely by being able to remake these in-class creations at home. Delicious!

This past weekend RAMS Theatre students performed the spring musical "Dorothy in Wonderland"! And it sure was wonderful! We had fabulous audiences, amazing performances and even got to witness the splendor that is the Northern Lights as we left the building on Friday night. What a treat! It's always good to look up!

7th and 8th grade RAMS students will keep their iPads over the summer. Keep the iPad in a safe place, and please note, there is NO tech support over the summer. If your family is leaving the district or you have another reason you would not be able to keep the iPad at home, please return it to school during school hours before June 4th. If these times are not possible for your family, please call the school so that we can arrange a plan with you. Thank you.

Note: Grade 12 students should plan to return their iPads on May 30th, 2024
