Thoughts from the Front Office
Dear RMS Community:
We have reached the final day of school for 2021, the shortest of the year. The focus will honor that brevity as well. Please enjoy the break from school, time with loved ones, hopefully good weather, and some time for restful reflection. We cannot thank you enough for your support during this crazy calendar year. Lighter days are coming.
RMS will be closed for the duration of the beak. We have asked teachers to refrain from assigning or grading work - trying to give everyone time to recharge in anticipation of 2022. We will check emails periodically, but hope that everyone takes this opportunity to unplug and pursue your own passions.
Until January 3rd, please stay safe, be well, and take care of each other.
Warmly,

RMS NEWS
Club News Dungeons and Dragons/Magic The Gathering Club Will meet Monday after break. We are currently looking for interested adults to help with the club (Our resident dungeon master went back to college.) On Thursdays a group of students are meeting in the library 3:00-4:00 to share their enthusiasm for the Rubiks Cube. Anyone is welcome to join and there are extra cubes for people that don't own one. January 12 will be the first meeting of the movie making club, a collaboration between RMS and CATV. This round of the club is only open to 8th graders. Contact Mr LaCrosse if your student is interested.
From Student Council
January will be busy with activities around Civil Rights day and lots of other fun things.
