Shout out to RVMS Choir teacher, Tara Cluff, and Ms. Martin's homeroom 5th grade choir! They performed this week for parents and staff members and were amazing! Music performed:
1) Funkel Funkel Kleiner Stern (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) / Star Light Star Bright
2) I Won't Grow Up from Peter Pan
3) 5th Grade Theme: Just Be Happy
Next 5th grade homeroom performance will be Ms. Stroud's class on December 12. Great job!
Fourth grade classes completed an experiment based on research by Japanese Scientist, Masaru Emoto. One class took two roses and for one week said kind words to one rose and mean words to the other rose. The rose with mean words wilted quickly, and the one with kind words remained pretty.
Another fourth grade class spoke and also wrote nice/mean words to jars of rice. The rice jars with mean words molded and the nice jars stayed white. We discussed that words are powerful when you speak and write/type (such as social media) them. Students agreed WORDS ARE POWERFUL! Thank you to our AMAZING Fourth Grade Teachers for creating such a great life lesson!
We will be having 2 Bond Election Information Meetings. First meeting is tonight at 6:00 PM and another on Wednesday October 25 at 6:00 PM.
They with both be at the RVHS Auditorium. Please spread the word. Attached is the flyer.

In the month of September, First Grade focused on what makes a community. We talked about the people and the places! So many things are needed to make a community fun and functional- from the school to the Sonic 😉. Thank you to our First Grade Team for creating such a fun and creative learning experience!

RVMS would like to give a shout out to our 5th grade math teacher, Hope Martin. She works hard everyday to bring in different strategies to help our students learn math. She utilizes "Thinking Classroom" in her lessons and the students are always excited. They work with each other to problem solve and practice their problems on the boards around the classroom. Thank you Ms. Martin for thinking outside the box and bringing in effective strategies to enhance student learning in math skills!
