RMS Express

Dear Readington Middle School Families,

As the crisp autumn air settles over Readington and the leaves begin to show off their beautiful fall colors, our school community is embracing the energy, excitement, and sense of connection that make this season so special. October is always a memorable time at RMS, filled with school spirit, meaningful experiences, and opportunities to celebrate what makes our community so unique!

We kicked off the month with Week of Respect, celebrating kindness, inclusion, and individuality through a series of daily spirit days. These activities encouraged students to show their school pride while recognizing the importance of treating one another with respect. We also celebrated Unity Day, bringing our school community together in orange to promote kindness, acceptance, and standing up against bullying.

Our students continued to make the most of the season through opportunities to learn, grow, and connect beyond the classroom. From exploring the outdoors to participating in grade-level activities and special events, our students continue to demonstrate curiosity, resilience, and a wonderful sense of community.

We were also excited to bring our RMS community together through school spirit events and activities that highlighted the importance of teamwork, connection, and supporting one another.

As the month progressed, the excitement of fall continued with seasonal celebrations, opportunities for students to showcase their creativity, and plenty of reasons to come together as a school community. Our students embraced the fun of the season while continuing to demonstrate the pride, enthusiasm, and positive spirit that make RMS such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

October also brought us closer to the conclusion of our fall athletic season. We are incredibly proud of our student-athletes for their dedication, sportsmanship, teamwork, and commitment to representing RMS with pride. Their hard work and enthusiasm remind us of the many ways our students shine both in and out of the classroom.

October has once again been a wonderful reminder of the strength of our RMS community. As we look ahead to November, I wish all of our families a happy, healthy, and gratitude-filled month. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in making RMS a vibrant, welcoming, and caring place for every student. I am grateful to be part of such an incredible school community!

Note:

Marking Period 1 ends on 11/12 & report cards will go out on 11/25!

Thank you for your continued support in helping make our school such a vibrant and caring place for our students. Go Vikings!

RMS 8th grade Band Members participated with the Hunterdon Central Regional High School Marking Band at the Central Football game on 10/16/2026! . It did get rained out, but that didn't ruin our fun! Some of our 8th grade band members went to Central, sat in with the band, and played some pep tunes. It was a lot of fun!!

Hoping to see some of them on the field next year.

Student Council had a great time at the NJASC Fall Conference! We enjoyed the motivational speaker and learned all about this year's state charity, Book Smiles. We are looking forward to partnering with Mrs. Singer and the Jr. Liberians this year to meet some fundraising and community service goals.

The Student Council had a very successful trip to Grow-a-Row in Pittstown! We worked hard to pick 3,750 pounds of radishes, to create 15,000 servings of food for local food pantries.

We are so proud of all of our members!

Get ready for an awesome season of Basketball, Cheerleading, and Wrestling!
