RMS Gale Shoutout: Ms. Collins.
Ms. Collins is a 6th Grade Special Education Aide. This is what her co-workers have said about her "Misty Collins always goes above and beyond what is required of a paraprofessional. She anticipates students' and colleagues' needs and takes action without being asked. She offers helpful ideas and suggestions and helps improve processes used in the classroom."
We are proud to call Ms. Collins a Gale!

On Monday, December 5, Officer John Harris of the Russellville Police Department who is assigned to RIS and RMS, graduated from the Criminal Justice Institute in Little Rock after completing the 40 hour School Resource Officer Basic school.
School Resource Officer’s serve unique roles in law enforcement as they also perform as teachers, mentors and counselors on the school campus. The SRO basic school is designed to provide newly appointed school resource officers with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively understand and perform these important roles.
Students enrolled in this course gained a working knowledge of the school resource officer triad concept and how to establish a lasting partnership with the schools. In addition to classroom instruction, students learned how to develop and present lesson plans as if they were instructing in a classroom setting.
Congratulations, Officer Harris!!
As a reward for doing a great job in PE, students were entered into a drawing to win festive holiday socks. Congrats to the Gale Holiday Sock Drawing winner! #GalePROUD
RMS teachers had a blast making signs and building friendships during Thanksgiving break. We’re thankful for Board & Brush for hosting!

In conjunction with their “Animal Allies” unit, RMS 6th grade language arts students were treated to a special guest visitor this week. Jerry II, Arkansas Tech University’s campus ambassador, along with handler Heather Strasner, showed students how dogs and humans can make special connections. Heather explained Jerry II’s role on campus and described the many events and functions he attends to bring people together. Among other things, Jerry II serves as a positive student ally and embodies the “Fight On” spirit of Arkansas Tech!
