Our RMS family continues to rally around one of our own. Mrs. Amber Casey, Assistant Principal at RMS, is currently battling breast cancer, and on Monday our students showed their love and support by wearing pink in her honor.
It was a powerful reminder of the strength of our school community. Seeing our halls filled with pink was more than just a color! It was a symbol of encouragement, unity, and hope.
Mrs. Casey, we are standing with you every step of the way! Way to go Gales!
