From Wednesday May 1st to Friday May 3rd, RMS 8th Grade Students and Faculty went to Washington DC! We had a fantastic time sightseeing, walking the City, touring museums, and watching a baseball game! Some of what we saw/did were: Capitol Building Tour, Yankees @ Orioles Game @ Camden Yards (Baltimore), Mount Vernon Estate, African-American Museum, Holocaust Museum, and The National Mall Monuments! By the end of the trip, we walked 52, 947 steps and over 21 miles! We had a blast!

Thank you Mr. Soltish for all of your planning and organizing for an awesome trip for our students!

A great job to all of our Band and Chorus students on their Spring Concert performances this past Thursday evening. You always do such a wonderful job and it has been great to see how much you have progressed since the beginning of the year with all of the hard work you have put in. We are proud of you!

This past Friday (5/10), RMS Band Students in 7th and 8th Grade participated in the Trills and Thrills Program. We traveled to Neptune High School (NJ) and performed a few of our songs in front of professional judges and then enjoyed the rest of our day at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. The judges gave us a score of "Superior," which is the highest rating that they give. Congrats!
