Over 140 students participated and had a blast! Also, a big thank you to the RMS students who volunteered their time and helped run some activities. Great job!

ELA RISE is off at RMS! This is an opportunity to get extra practice and help to prepare for the ELA State exam (April 19th and 20th) and/or the final in June. We will be meeting in B229 from 2:50 - 3:40. All seventh graders are welcome to come to any or all dates. The remaining date is 4/12. Please see Ms. Holliday in B229 with any questions.

f you find yourself Spring Cleaning and have any of the items found on the photo below, please place them in our USAgain Bins located in the parking lot!

To help, save any clothing items, shoes, linens or other textiles and drop them off in our bins. Besides keeping clothes out of landfills, every time we fill up a bin: the benefits are two-fold. First, our RMS Environmental Club receives funds to use for our club. Also, USAgain plants a tree. Clean out those closets and bring any unwanted items to our USAgain bin!

The Community Cleanup is Saturday, April 22 from 9 am-12 pm.

Check it out below!

GLSEN Mid-Hudson is hosting a Beacon Parent Meetup on Tuesday, April 18th from 6-7pm at Howland Public Library.
