ACT Aspire testing is here! In honor of this week, the staff at RMS made encouraging posters to help motive their students during testing!
Mr. Daily’s STEM literacy class explored the Solar System using online simulators and models. Students observed celestial bodies, influence of the seasons, structures of planets, and the shear size of the Solar System.
ELA students have begun rotations to prepare for ACT Aspire. Mrs. Southerland’s question trail activity allows students to work collaboratively to navigate through questions similar to those on the grammar portion of the test. This kinesthetic activity kept students moving and engaged the entire time.
Please come out and help celebrate our retirees this year! Joey Fisher, Phyllis Riedmuller, and Joe Sitkowski will be celebrated in the Gale Room on May 15th from 3:30 PM - 5 PM
Attention Parents: There are extra copies of the yearbook available for $40. There are a limited number of copies, so this is on a first come first serve basis. To reserve your yearbook, bring $40 to the office or send it with your student to Mrs. Vail.
Congratulations to RMS's Mrs. Savannah Burden, 6th grade ELA teacher! She was chosen as our 2023 Teacher of the Year, and we are so proud of her! #galePROUD
Attention Parents: Cross Country tryouts have been rescheduled for this Friday, April 28th.
Whether it be audiobooks, ebooks, or physical books, it is important to foster a love for reading. Students are more likely to read when they are most comfortable, so Mrs. Southerland dimmed the lights, played ambient music, and students spent the day reading. Students then shared what they read through a Google form. #readlikeagale #galePROUD
Our students and staff are loving these positive notes from Americorp!
7th-Grade Math classes are play bunko and talking about probability! We love seeing students having fun when learning. #galePROUD
We have been about learning cells and systems in 6th grade science. Today, some of Mrs. Tripp's advisory students put together a giant puzzle of the human body. Learning can be fun, especially in advisory! #galePROUD
Motivational Monday! Thank you Americorps for spreading positivity to our students!
In recognition of DEAR day (Drop Everything And Read), students were encouraged to read their library books, magazines, and newspapers. We love seeing students find joy in reading! #READLIKEAGALE
Research and Reading.
Students have been working on an essay about zoos in ELA class. As they finish sections of their essay and wait for feedback in Mrs. Southerland’s class, they read their independent books quietly. We are #galePROUD
Carson Walker did it again! He broke the RMS 800 record set in 1986 with a time of 214.50! Carson is currently ranked 5th in the Nation in the 7th-grade boys 800!
We are so proud of Carson and his tremendous accomplishments! #galePROUD
6th grade science students went to the library this week and created black out poems using pages of old books. Each student created their own unique poem to showcase their talents and creative taste.
RMS has the best Assistant Principals! Thank you for all that you do Mr. Sitkowski and Mrs. Walker.
Another Gales record falls!
Talen Hindsman has joined the ranks of Gales track athletes to have a record-breaking performance over the last few years for the Russellville Middle School track team.
Hindsman broke the Gales triple jump record of 35 feet 6 inches which was previously set in 2013 by Josiah Woodard. Hindsman set a new record at the Badger Relays in Beebe with a winning jump of 36 feet & 1/2 inches.
Coach Joey Fisher said, "We are very proud of Talon and his accomplishments, and he still has a couple of more meets to take the record to new lengths before the season is over."
The Gales will end their season on April 17 in Conway at the Wampus Kitten Relays.
Upcoming 7th Grade Girls Basketball tryouts May 9th - May 11th. Contact Jacob Chism for more information.
6th grade science students in Mr. Daily’s class worked in groups to complete a jigsaw activity. Students became experts on a unicellular organism than shared their expertise with others in the class. Reading informational (scientific) text to gain information is useful in engaging in scientific argumentation.
