It's so nice to meet you!
This week I was able to meet many community members at the ice cream gathering sponsored by Superintendent Nichols at FHTMS, and at our very own Meet and Greet at RMCS. Thanks to parents, grandparents, and students who were able to stop by for conversation, snacks, and laughs. Please consider stopping by RMCS for one of the upcoming events before school starts this month. I'd love to introduce myself to you in person. See dates below.
Sincerely,
Mrs. McD.
RMCS Garden Cleanup
Have you noticed the sign and beautiful gardens at the entrance of the school? A big shout out and many thanks to staff and parents who came together for a garden clean up on Friday, August 5th. With a donation from Claussen's Greenhouse and garden tools from home, they clipped, trimmed, weeded, dug, and planted. When I was able to join, I so much appreciated the conversation, teamwork, and yes, more laughter. Thank you Paul Kolbenson, Paula Jensvold, Katie Ransom, Stephanie Hockenbury, Jen Belisle, Kelly Mahl, Ellen Copley, Danielle Vincent, Nicholle Eddy, Annie Allardyce, Paul Balsamo, Erin Dahlstrom, and Mary Steussey!

- The State of Vermont has provided money to do this for one year through the Universal School Meals Act.
- Extra meal items and a la carte items, including milk, are not part of the USDA Free & Reduced meal programs. If your student brings lunch from home and wishes to purchase milk, the cost is $.50.
