Back To School Dance The RMS Back to School Dance took place on Wednesday, September 19th in the MPR. It was themed, Back to School. In the snack bar they had pizza, candy, and drinks. We asked 7th grader Aaliah Medina what she thought of the dance. She said, It was fun, but they should add balloons next time! Then we asked 7th grader Ethan Soto what his favorite part of the dance was. He responded, I liked the songs they played since they had some Mexican songs, but they should improve on the food. If you are a 7th or 8th grader who missed the dance, you should consider going to the next one in December. By: Oscar Santiago and Oscar Briceno
