Throwback to when CTE Medical Detectives were putting on their Epidemiologist hats.
We suspected someone came to school sick, so our students tracked interactions between each other. After only three interactions each (such as high fives, passing water bottles, using the water fountain, touching door knobs), we were able to see results. 18 out of 24 students ended up sick! Luckily we had gathered clean samples before students interacted with each other.
Our test showed ONLY 3 students were sick at the start of the school day! How quickly something can spread. We can't stop something 100% from spreading, but we can limit it. Stay safe this cold and flu season everyone!

Building connections, making memories, and celebrating our Gale family!
During Gale Gathering Day, students had the opportunity to sign up for a special Lunch with a Teacher pass! RMS treated participating students and their chosen teachers to Slim Chickens, giving them time to enjoy a meal together and build meaningful relationships outside the classroom.
We love creating opportunities for our Gales to connect with the teachers who support, encourage, and inspire them every day! ❤️🖤
A big thank you to our staff for making these moments special and helping make RMS more than just a school. We’re a family!

Career Development at RMS is exploring how hard certain careers are. We are exploring agriculture, so the students are seeing how long it will take to grow our own lettuce and spinach. Taking 6-10 weeks, these plants are a foundation of many wonderful dishes. Our young students will monitor and track the growth, learning along the way how important different careers are to all of us.



OUR FUTURE IS TOO BRIGHT FOR DRUGS!

CTE Automation and Robotics classes at RMS have been learning all about mechanisms. Using chain and sprocket (like a bike), and bevel gears (like a windmill) we have hooked up a mechanical knitting machine and motorized it. No more wrist pain! With no effort at all we can make hats and scarfs for winter, once the weather cools off some! Way to go Gales!

RMS UPCOMING IMPORTANT DATES
There’s a lot happening at Russellville Middle School during the next few months! We want to make sure our families have all the important dates in one place!
📌 Be sure to save this graphic so you don’t miss any important events or activities.
Go Gales!

The 7th grade ELA students took the “stage” and reenacted the realistic fiction story, “Heartbeat”. The main character is a guy wanting to impress a girl. He realizes that when he wears several layers of clothing, he bulks up and people notice him more…until things start going wrong! These boys truly captured the character of Dave and put on a show!




Happy Monday, Gale families! Our weekly newsletter is here to keep you in the loop on all the exciting things happening at Russellville Middle School!

Our last home football game was PINK OUT. It was extra special as we celebrated and honored Mrs. Casey! The Spirit Squad did an amazing job, and we couldn’t be prouder of them for dedicating their dance to such a special person. They danced with love in their hearts, showing our support and reminding everyone what this night is all about. 💕🎀
