We are off and rolling and are excited for all of the fun events and authentic learning opportunities happening in our school! I want to take a moment to thank all of our students and parents who submitted Apple Award nominations for our staff members. We have the best staff and community! Also, we are so excited for our Geography Bee coming up on January 23rd as well as multiple Unified Basketball events and 7th grade girls basketball! Additionally, we had so much fun at our 6th grade parent orientation night back on January 10th and we can't wait for another night coming up on January 24th! Finally, our students are responding so well to our pod talks about working hard, doing their best, and having fun! Our staff and students have been doing great with standards alignment and showing growth on our assessments. We look forward to continuing our hard work and continuing our high standards and academic excellence! Thanks for all your support of our work and Go Wolves!!!

If a student does not feel comfortable approaching a trusted adult with an issue, they can use these resources to report the problem. Concerns that can be reported to Safe2Tell or Text-a-Tip can include bullying, cyberbullying, substance misuse, self-harm, threats, violence, suicide concerns, or any unsafe situations. RVMS students will review resources such as Safe2Tell and Text-A-Tip which are available 24/7 so that they always have an anonymous way to report concerns. https://safe2tell.org/ Anonymous Reporting: Safe2Tell & Text-A-Tip http://www.dcsheriff.net/school-safety/text-a-tip/

RVMS Student News: Page 10 Our Sources of Strength peers leaders chose Generosity to be their theme for December. They chose the organization- Peace, Love and Paws to donate to. Peace, Love and Paws is an organization that helps dogs/cats living with their owners who are homeless. They give the owners supplies and food for their dog or cat and the organization also vaccinates the animals as well. Our peer leader made it a competition for each team. They stated whatever team brings in 60 items first, they receive holiday cookies and hot chocolate. We had two teams who exceeded that number so they both earned that treat! Overall, RVMS helped donate over 200 items to this organization and we couldn't be more excited!! HRC Club News Thank you to all those that donated to our feeder school families in need! With your help the HIRC club raised $800 to help both families before the holidays. A big shout out to Adhip Ghimire, Sydney Henderson, Lillian Moats, Abigail Wilson & Meghan West for leading the club in these efforts!
