Dear RMS Community: Well, we are under 20 school days to go in the 2021-2022 school year. It is amazing to think about all that we have accomplished this year - with caring, community, and hopefully some humor. As we near the end of the year we will continue to collectively celebrate our students in ways that highlight their common experiences, adaptability, and perseverance. This continuation of the collective caring for each other makes celebrations at RMS a little bit different. Colors Day (a long tradition at RMS, experienced by this current group of students for the first time), sees us divide the student body into different teams across grade levels. These teams then “compete” in various activities designed to highlight the diverse skills and interests of all our students. Unlike the more familiar “field day,” Colors Day seeks to highlight everything we all do - from art and floor hockey to board games and creating a team flag - in a way that brings students together in new ways. Our other end of year celebrations focus on the collective student body, not on individual accomplishments, specific groups, or connections outside of school. Middle school is often the last time that our students will get to celebrate together as a class - the world has a way of dividing us up, and we want to delay that as long as possible. RMS is a special and unique time and place, not simply a younger version of other school experiences. Because of this we end our year differently than other schools, as a low key collective celebration of a shared experience - not as an end - or a beginning - but as a continuation of the spirit that has sustained us for 3 years. We are looking forward to the excitement about summer we know is coming, and know that we will enjoy these last 4 weeks. We would like to remind everyone that the majority of the school relies on airflow and fans to stay cool, so increasing hydration will be important as our temperatures approach bayou level. Enjoy the sunshiny weekend. Be safe, stay well, and take care of each other. Tim Boyle
