This November, RMS is celebrating Native American Heritage Month. We will have daily announcements, a presentation at our assembly, and a spirit week to celebrate Native culture! Spirit week is November 13th to November 17th. Indian Education will also be hosting a movie night at the end of the month. With a final dress up day on November 30th, called pick your passion day! Where we come dressed in attire bringing awareness to an important topic in Native America. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Q at kquiroz@fremont25.org."

At RMS, we've implemented a new program called Character Strong over the last couple of years. During homeroom on Tuesday's and Wednesday's, our students participate in lessons that support the development of their characters, covering topics like problem-solving, goal-setting, stress management, conflict resolution, team building and more.

Each week, students receive a "Character Dare" - a suggestion for putting skills into practice. This week and next, the Character Dares are: 1) Find a meaningful way to say thank you to a helpful adult in your life and 2) Raise your hand and ask for help in your hardest class. We've prioritized teaching citizenship, empathy, and decision-making because we know that student well-being is a significant factor in academic and future success. We aim to support students in reaching their highest potential, in and out of the classroom. Ask your middle schooler about Character Strong and how they'll try out their Character Dare!
