This November, our staff will be sharing what they’re grateful for by writing it on leaves and adding them to our gratitude tree.

Hello RMS Families,

We are in the process of getting ready for our annual Veterans Day Assembly on November 10th, 20206. We are excited to invite the veterans of our community to another celebration of service at Rochester Middle School! If you have any family members or friends who have served in the military and live in the area, please provide us with their full name (first and last) as well as their full address so we can invite them to attend our Veteran’s Day Celebration! We hope to reach as many honored guests as possible.

These Timberwolves are showing leadership, making positive choices, supporting their peers, and helping make our school community a great place to learn and grow. We are so proud of their hard work and the positive impact they are making!

Congratulations to our Team Georgetown student leaders! Keep up the great work, Timberwolves! 🐺

Red Ribbon Week highlights the importance of living a drug free life. It presents an opportunity for parents, educators, and communities to reinforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year.

In support of this mission, Rochester Middle School came together to participate in a scary fun door decorating contest. The door decorating contest combined some scary facts about substance misuse and the theme of Halloween!

Surprise judges went around scoring doors. Here are the winners.

Overall best door- Pizza party for the class

Most creative anti-drug message- Cookie party for the class

Most educational door- Candy for the class

Best looking door- Popcorn party for the class
