What's Happening at RMS?
February Employee of the Month!
Several staff and students nominated Kristen Vail. This is what they said:
"Kristen Vail has been nominated I believe 3 or 4 times now and has yet to beat the odds! She is a very supportive member of the art team and I love bouncing ideas off of each other. Mrs. Vail is a kind and upbeat individual and a leader to the art team and in a way to others as well! This morning she helped me make copies for our 7th graders and sometimes does so without asking. Students adore Mrs. Vail, and for good reason. She is a wonderful teacher and the best listener. I feel we don't get those great listener skills around too often anymore!"
A note from Mrs. Vail:
What I love most about working at Russellville Middle School is my students! I love getting to know them and watching them be successful. Helping a student reach their potential and challenge themselves makes my job so rewarding! I'm so thankful to be considered Employee of the Month!
Send isabelle.luna@rsdk12.net your student's acts if kindness and we will announce them each day!
