It's a marathon! We're climbing up the last hill and we are going to sprint to the finish. No one said it was going to be easy. Thank you to all of the parents for helping to keep our students focused!
Here are some of the most recent additions to Mr. Petsch's Dean's List!
8th grader, Connor S. has shown tremendous character during these difficult times. He has experienced some adversity and loss but has continued to persevere and remain positive. Teachers, including Mr. Bullock, have noted that Connor has shown great effort and has completed all of the tasks assigned to him. Connor’s grades have improved to all A’s and B’s as a result of his integrity and fortitude.
On a similar note, PE teacher and National Junior Honor Society leader Mr. Kirkutis nominates Will L for his Character this week. He offered to create and edit an inspirational video for the workers at the Waterview Villa Nursing Home without being asked. When he was speaking about the video at the National Junior Honor Society meeting, he spoke about what the group would be accomplishing by sharing their inspirational pictures and didn't mention to anyone that he would be creating and editing the video footage.
RMS is proud of all of the NJHS students for their leadership and contributions to our community. These young, scholar-leaders are all service-driven, empathetic and wise beyond their years. We are sad to see them leave our school but are excited to watch them thrive in the next chapter of their lives. EPHS look out! You are getting a gem next year with the addition of our NJHS members and our 8th grade as a whole. They are all ready and prepared to get involved as “Townies!”
The Riverside Middle School National Junior Honor Society decided to honor the staff of Waterview Villa nursing home with some inspirational messages. Thank you to all health care workers who have continued to take care of our loved one throughout this pandemic. The kids of RMS recognize your contribution to our families and community.
