TWICE THE STYLE, TWICE THE GALE PRIDE! 🖤❤️👯 It's wouldn't be a true twin day with twin posts! We’re back with MORE matching moments from Twin Day! Our Gales showed up and showed out with their matching outfits, creative looks, and school spirit as we celebrated Red Ribbon Week! We love seeing our students having fun, building friendships, and reminding each other that we’re stronger together! ❤️🖤 Because making healthy choices is always better when we support one another! Go Gales!

As part of our Red Ribbon Week celebrations, our RAAD (Rise Above Alcohol & Drugs) group welcomed a guest speaker to RMS to discuss the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, and vaping. Our students had the opportunity to learn about the risks associated with these substances and the importance of making informed, healthy choices. We are grateful for opportunities like this that empower our Gales with the knowledge and confidence to make positive decisions for their future! A special thank you to our guest speaker, Ray Lozano, and our RAAD group for helping spread this important message throughout our school community! Make healthy choices. Stand strong. Rise above!

Double the fun, double the spirit! 🎉Today, our Gales are teaming up for Twin Day as we celebrate the last day of Red Ribbon Week! Our students are showing off their matching outfits and reminding us that having the right people by your side can make all the difference. Together, we can encourage one another to make healthy choices and live drug free! Check out our amazing Gales twinning today!

DRUG FREE IS ALWAYS IN STYLE! Our Gales took a trip through time yesterday for Decades Day as we continued celebrating Red Ribbon Week! From retro looks to throwback styles, our students showed off their creativity and school spirit while reminding us that making healthy choices never goes out of style! No matter the decade, our message stays the same: Be kind to your mind and choose a drug free life! Check out some of our amazing Gales rocking their favorite decades!

🤠 Yeehaw, Gales! Yesterday, our students and staff saddled up for Western Day as we continued celebrating Red Ribbon Week! From cowboy hats to boots and flannel, our Gales showed off their western spirit while standing together for a drug free future! We’re proud of our students for participating and helping spread the message that making healthy choices is always in style! Keep showing your Gale pride as we continue our Red Ribbon Week celebrations!

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!

Our Gales lit up RMS yesterday for Neon Day as we continued celebrating Red Ribbon Week! We loved seeing everyone show off their brightest colors while spreading an important message about making healthy choices and living drug free!

A big thank you to our students and staff for bringing the NEON energy and school spirit!

Check out some of our bright and colorful Gales!

We’re kicking off Red Ribbon Week at RMS! 🎉 Our teachers and students showed their support by wearing RED to celebrate making healthy choices and living a drug free life! ❤️🖤

Red Ribbon Week is a great reminder that the choices we make today help shape our future. We are proud to stand together as a school community to encourage our Gales to make safe, healthy, and positive choices every day! ❤️

A big THANK YOU to our amazing staff for helping us kick off the week with school spirit! Let’s keep the momentum going!

We had a wonderful time celebrating our students at our first quarter Gale Awards last week! We are so proud of our Gales for their hard work, positive attitudes, growth, and dedication throughout the first quarter.

These awards recognize the amazing things our students are doing both inside and outside the classroom. We love having the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments and recognize the many ways they make RMS a special place!

Congratulations to all of our award recipients! Keep working hard, making great choices, and showing your Gale pride!

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!

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!
