Dear RMS Families,

We are excited to announce a new partnership between RMS and Denny’s to bring our families and community closer together! As part of this collaboration, we’ll be hosting several Dine-In Give Back Nights—a great opportunity to connect, socialize, and support our students.

Our first Dine-In Give Back Night will take place after the holidays on Tuesday, January 14th, 2025. During this event, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to RMS to help support our students and programs. To ensure RMS receives credit for your participation, please bring the event flyer with you, or show a picture of the flyer with your phone to Denny’s. Flyers are available in the RMS main office, or take a picture 📸 of this flyer.

We would love for you to join us to enjoy a delicious meal, spend time with other RMS families and staff, and make a positive impact on our school.

During this event, we will also hold our Association PTA meeting on Tuesday, 1/14/25, from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. at Denny's, where you can learn more about the wonderful programs and initiatives happening at RMS.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you there!

On January 17th, from 7:45-8:45 am, we will host a Bike Safety Class via Zoom in the MPR for students who would like to get a safety sticker for their bike, scooter, etc.

As a reminder, riding anything to school without a helmet is illegal, and police may fine you if you do not have this class certification sticker on your bike, scooter, etc.

Attend, and then you will not have to worry about that, plus you’ll know the rules of the road to keep you as safe as possible!

See Mrs. Schmitz if you have any questions!

We are Open from 6:30 AM to 6:35 PM Monday through Friday and offer Homework Support. We have cooking classes starting on January 14, 2025, art comics on Fridays, Monday's Rising Stars, basketball arts and crafts, outdoor games, and much more!

We’re excited to announce an Amazon Wishlist for our middle school! These items have been carefully selected to help enrich the learning experience and meet the needs of our students. Your contributions will directly support our school community, making a difference in the lives of students every day. Whether it’s classroom supplies, books, or other essential items, every donation counts and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us create a thriving and supportive environment for our middle schoolers! Together, we can make a huge impact.

Miss Neal's 6th-grade science students recently completed an exciting project exploring the intricacies of the human body!

Each student chose one of the body systems- circulatory, digestive, excretory, nervous, respiratory, or reproductive- and created a detailed poster to showcase their understanding.

Through labeled diagrams, creative designs, and accurate descriptions, they highlighted the structures and functions of their selected system.

This project allowed students to blend scientific knowledge with artistic expression, demonstrating their effort, creativity, and growing expertise in anatomy.

These posters are a testament to their hard work and enthusiasm for learning about the human body!
