RVMS annual Color Run raised over $2500 for our school! Fun was had and we want to say a big thank you to 8th grade teacher, Jenniffer Leonhardt, for planning this amazing event each year to benefit programs and clubs in our school!
RVMS Best Teacher Ever awards were passed on from Liesl Bottachiari to Carson Merrill. Mrs. Bottachiari says, "Carson is always there to lend a helping hand. if you ask him, he'll help, 100%. Carson is a young teacher, who has won the hearts and minds of his students. He has taken on refereeing basketball, coaching track, and FBLA. The kids genuinely love his science class too. The fact that students feel so comfortable in his class, shows how big of a heart Carson has. Carson will have many years of teaching ahead of him, giving him the ability to touch many more lives. Thank you for being such an asset to our middle school team!"
The award was also passed from Colette Myers to Kimberly Tucker, Mrs. Myers says, "To my gym buddy Kimberly, I nominate you for this award because you are one of the reasons why I love coming to work everyday. You are someone I can count on, you make me laugh, you are someone I can vent to, and your energy is truly contagious! I just always want to be around you! You cover my PE class more often than you probably like to, but always do it without hesitation. That says everything about the kind of teammate you are: selfless, supportive, and always putting others first. Our school wouldn't be the same without you, you are truly the BEST!"
Congratulations Mr. Merrill and Mrs. Tucker!

RVMS Teacher Appreciation week was so fun this year! We acted like students for a day and had a fun team building activity as secret service agents and passed around a top secret folder for a prize at the end of the day. One thing is for sure, we love our students and these teachers show up every day with patience, passion, and dedication. Middle school is a time of growth, change, and discovery, and our teachers go above and beyond to support, encourage, and inspire students through it all. Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, endless encouragement, and the positive impact you make both inside and outside the classroom. Your ability to connect with students, build confidence, and create a safe place to learn does not go unnoticed. We appreciate all you do for our students, our school, and our community. Thank you for being difference-makers every single day! ❤️ BEST TEAM EVER! ❤️

Elks Super Star Award!!! ⭐️
Lisa Pifer is a crucial part of the 2nd grade team! She is always working quietly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and successfully. Whether she’s helping in classrooms to support our teachers or teaching 1-on-1 and small group sessions with students who need an extra boost, Lisa stays busy all day long.
You can always count on her to keep things safe and sound from the playground to the cafeteria, and she’s always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed, always with a fun attitude! Our students feel safe with Mrs. Pifer and always know they can go to her with any of their needs. We don’t know what we’d do without her, and we’re so lucky to have Lisa on the Round Valley Primary School Team! Thank you, Lisa, for all you do! -Nominated by Caty Salazar
