Happy Friday, RMS Families,
Kudos and Congratulations to the RMS Drama students and staff for their performances this past weekend! Along with their school-based performance on Friday evening, the cast and crew traveled to Melrose to compete against other middle schools across the state. The student-written play gained accolades far and wide and made Rockport proud all around. 👏👏👏
Looking ahead, there are a variety of field trips and end of the year celebrations on the calendar. Please see a list of some of the major events below for your planning. Please note this is not meant to be inclusive of everything as there are a variety of classroom-based experiences going on as well. We look forward to celebrating the end of the year together over the coming weeks!
Here's to a great week ahead! 😎
