RPMS Athletics Newsletter
Week of September 24th - September 30th
Message from the Athletic Director
Hello Rockets!
I hope you all have been able to enjoy your weekend. I want to give a shoutout to all of our Fall athletics programs here at RPMS. Starting with Cross Country, congrats to the team and coaching staff on their first place finish at the West Michigan Middle School All-Star meet last Thursday. In addition, the team earned a 1st place trophy that will be added to our athletic collection. Volleyball opened up at home last Monday with a 7th and 8th-grade sweep against Grand Haven, and the teams are looking to redeem themselves tomorrow against Fruitport at home. Football cruised past Fruitport securing wins at both levels, and will return home this Wednesday to face Mona Shores. Sideline Cheer just finished up a fun-filled team spirit week, and it was pretty intriguing to see some of the ides that the student-athletes came up with. They are ready to showcase their hard work this Wednesday while cheering on our football teams.
As the season progresses, please continue to take the time to review the expectations of attending home sporting events with your student. I enjoy seeing our students supporting their peers, however, sporting events are a privilege.
As always, many of the icons throughout this newsletter will provide direct links for quick access, just click and it will take you to the destination. Please visit the RPMS Athletics website and be sure to follow the RPMS Athletics Facebook page for additional information.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jordan Riley
