All Things Rushing!
Principal's Message!
I was thinking about the first nine weeks so far this year and I was struck with the number of times that I was faced with a situation where things weren't exactly where I wanted them to be . . . yet! Whether I was working with teachers to help a student, working with a student to solve a problem, working with parents to support their child, I knew in every single situation that we would eventually achieve complete success, I knew it was just a matter of time! That is the power of yet!
One of the best things and most fabulous things about working with your kiddos is that they all believe in the power of yet! They may not know what it is called but they certainly believe it. As they approach every problem, every struggle, every challenge, they approach it with that not yet attitude! Things may not be exactly how we want them but they are just not there yet! Every day is an opportunity to get closer to our yet!
Thank you so much for believing in the power of YET at Rushing Middle School where we work every day to reach our goals and push ourselves beyond what we ever thought we could achieve!
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns! Thank you for your continued support and, as I have said, with GRACE, GRATITUDE, and KINDNESS, we can resolve any issue and move forward for the success of our students at Rushing Middle School, GO RAPTORS!
Sincerely,
Danielle Wallace

Wear Yellow Wednesdays!
"Be Kind" T-Shirts - Order Yours Today
Hope Squad has organized "Be Kind" yellow T-Shirts as a symbol to simply be kind to one another, which is why you often see yellow shirts and apparel throughout our district on every Wednesday of each month. This stems from supporting the cause of suicide awareness and prevention. This year we have two shirt options for you to choose from and purchase through myschoolbucks for $10. Orders will be placed monthly and delivered to your child's campus.
Please log into your "MySchoolBucks" account to order your t-shirt. The shirt will be delivered to your child's campus.
