Dear RMAE families,

We had a fantastic first week! Lots of smiles, new friendships, and a school wide celebration to cap it all off. The positive energy and vibe has been infectious for all of us. Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us.

Your patience and understanding with the temporary drop off and pick up location is much appreciated. Although I’m sure you are thoroughly enjoying the daily U-turns, the end is in sight! The first load of boulders for the retaining wall for the new road on campus were delivered today. I anticipate another week or so before the road is ready for use.

Also, a belated thank you to everyone who helped prepare our campus for students. It was great to be able to have volunteers on campus. I’m grateful to be a part of such a wonderful school community.

Your Proud Principal,

Dr. Ann Hudson

Campus and Classroom Happenings

We ended the 1st week of school with our first school wide assembly. Students participated in a week long bingo challenge promoting our core virtues, because all bingo card were completed the principals earned a pie in the face!

A big shout out to our PTO for kicking off the school year with a fun and successful Welcome Back Social!

Middle School Art TASK Party! Students drew strips of paper with tasks to perform that involved building things or making art. As they worked I handed out interrupters, things they had to stop and do or do while continuing to work, like find two people to sing three rounds of Row Row Row Your Boat with you. It was creative and silly at times!
