Romeo Middle School 6th Grade Academy, Trailblazers, won the March Reading Month: Book Reading Challenge. With a total of 61 books read by the team, the winners enjoyed a free hour of Gym Time on the Friday before Spring Break. Thanks to Romeo Kiwanis for a $250 donation to pay for the Inflatable Obstacle Course and Bounce House. The Bounce House was a contribution from Patrick's Party Rentals.

Runny noses are on the rise with allergy season approaching. If you can send in a box of tissues with your student we would greatly appreciate it.

It’s time to lace up those running shoes and get ready to run! The 2025 Track and Field season is around the corner and we are thrilled to have you involved. The first practice will kick off the season on Tuesday, April 1. Daily practices and meets will take place Monday through Thursday. Practices run from 3:20 pm until 5 pm. The first meet is on Thursday, May 1. (See the link below for the full schedule.)

Middle School Track and Field encourages 7th and 8th graders to push themselves for their own personal gratification as well as a member of the Romeo team. Top times/distances will earn points for the team. There are no cuts in track and field; all athletes are allowed to participate. We just ask that athletes dedicate themselves to personal improvement and the team. This dedication includes a willingness to expand your range, and compete in events that benefit the team when needed. Both 7th and 8th graders have received an email form to fill out if they plan to participate.

If you are not familiar with Track and Field, please see the attached information links about the season.

See you soon!
