Message From Your PTA Board

Greetings to all RCMS Families, Faculty, and Community,

We are so glad you have journeyed with our team thus far in the 2025-2026 school year. In a nutshell, this part of the year has been far from perfect or smooth. Thank you for your partnership and dedication to serve our students, families, and community thus far. 

To date we have participated in over a dozen advocacy events or training sessions from local to national involvement. Facilitated and supported over 60 students for Glow Karaoke. Over 100 plus students for the Autumn Harvest Dance. We have contributed snacks and drinks to multiple RCMS teams, Indigenous American Land Acknowledgement during meetings, sponsored Get2Green club, sponsored supplies for RCMS mentorship program, and teacher appreciation activities to name a few items of our participation. We are just getting started! 

In 2026, we are seeking more members to support through volunteering and PTA-sponsored activities donations. We are elated to bring more engaging activities with students and families uplifting scholastic and wellness collaboration. Most importantly, impact our students to become prepared for what’s ahead with confidence. 

Take Care!
