This week is National School Counselor Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible counselors at Russellville Middle School.
Our counselors do so much more than help with schedules. They are listeners, problem-solvers, encouragers, advocates, and steady supports for our students and staff every single day. Whether they are helping a student navigate a tough moment, celebrating a success, or quietly stepping in behind the scenes, their impact reaches far beyond their offices.
RMS is a better place because of the care, patience, and dedication our counselors bring to our school community. We are so grateful for all they do to support our students academically, socially, and emotionally.
Please join us in thanking our counselors for the heart they pour into RMS every day!
If you are interested in trying out for the RMS Spirit Squad, please join Coach Ritter in the RMS gym on Friday, February 20 during your Advisory. This is a meeting for 6th graders wanting to try out for the cheer/dance team next year.
Congratulations to our RMS Employee of the month!
"Mrs. Rentfro is an incredible teacher! She cares deeply about her students and their growth academically and personally. She's fantastic at meeting the needs of all of her students. Her students are blessed to have a teacher that meets them where they are pushes them to achieve more than they can even imagine. She is creative in the classroom and works hard to find ways to incorporate literacy skills in her classroom. She's a team player and RMS is lucky to have her!"
"Randall (Bear) Smith always has a positive attitude with his classmates and works hard in his classes. This week, specifically, he has been so kind to one of our new 6th grade students. He has taken him in as a part of his friend group and helps him find his classes, they hang out together at recess, and they sit together at lunch. I'm really proud of the way he has welcomed one of our new students to RMS!"
The Russellville Police Department selected students with upcoming birthdays and surprised them with special gifts. Today’s celebrations featured Shiloh Jackson and J’Ceon Bowers, joined by Officer Lewis and Sergeant Reeves. Thank you to RPD for helping make our students feel celebrated!
