Staff Appreciation: Buy Lunch! | In-person school is back on April 19 and our RMS staff is hard at work making this a reality, as well as continuing remote learning for all students. Staff Appreciation Week is coming up May 3-7, and RMS PTSA would love to do something nice for them. Unfortunately, safety precautions prevent us from offering our traditional potluck lunches that the staff absolutely raves about. Instead, we are hoping you will help the PTSA provide catered box lunches for the staff. Each lunch will provide a main entrée, side, and drink for approximately $10. Please consider contributing to this worthy cause. Please donate by April 30 so we may have enough time to plan the event! | Enjoy the New Fence Message!
| In appreciation of the amazing people that work at RMS, the fence message was updated on Wednesday, March 31. Take a look at all of the images of changing messages to our wonderful staff by visiting the RMS PTSA Fence Messages webpage! Consider buying a staff member a box lunch for Staff Appreciation Week May 3-7! | RMS Student Toolkit (Repeat)
