The 6th grade Band just performed the first notes of their RMS Band career for their classmates. Great job, Mr. Maguire and all music students!
Here are the winners of our weekly Core Values recognition!
Our first student being recognized for Responsibility is Sabrina. Sabrina was absent from school one day last week. When she returned, she collected all of her missing work and rescheduled a time to take a test that she had missed. Sabrina didn’t need a teacher to remind her to do this...she was responsible all by herself.
Next, Mr. Sulham nominated Kiana for Mindfulness. All by herself, Kiana created a Quizlet that she and her fellow classmates can use to help study for an upcoming social studies test. Mr. Sulham also reports that this wasn’t the first time that Kiana has created a Quizlet to help her class prepare. Great job, Kiana, for being so mindful and thoughtful towards your teacher and classmates.
Finally, demonstrating the core value of Scholarship this week is Jaelon. Mrs. Fillion reports that Jaelon was struggling with a new concept in math. Instead of giving up, Jaelon persevered by asking for additional help and staying after to practice. As a result, Jaelon mastered the skill he was having difficulty with and aced his next assessment.
And our winning teacher this week is Ms. French! Thank you Ms. French and all of the other teachers who nominated students this past week.
The RMS Student Council stepped up once again to collect items and write cards for the veterans’ home in Bristol organized by our friend Tracy Adams Capobianco. Thank you to Ms. Braga for organizing the kids in yet another campaign to help others!
Thanks once again to the PTSA for bringing the glorious smell of fresh popcorn to the cafeteria at RMS!
The RMS Hour of Code was a hit! Congratulations to all of the Top Coders and the Code Ambassadors who helped out. There are some really talented kids at RMS!
