It’s almost Winter Break so let’s get excited with a Spirit Week! Monday: Ugly/Holiday Sweater, Tuesday: Dress Like Your Teachers, Wednesday: PJ/Comfy Cozy Day

Please join the RMS Drama Department on Tuesday, December 20th at 7:00pm to enjoy our first annual Night of Scenes! Our drama class has prepared five scenes of varying genres that showcase the acting and technical skills learned this semester. Prepare to be taken on a journey filled with laughter, love, laziness, group-project-inspired rage, and some good old-fashioned evil scheming.

Our very own site nurse Holly Gruver is a VUSD Star!!!

Well deserved. You are kind, caring, patient, quick on your toes, and brilliant; we are lucky to have you as Roosevelt. We are so proud of you!
