The Raptor Report April 19, 2021
All Things Rushing!
Principal's Message!
Thank you all for another great week! As we approach May, please make sure you are checking the newsletter and emails for all of the things we have coming up at Rushing. Theatre productions, banquets, band, choir, dance and events, 8th grade celebration, and our Rushing building dedication, are all coming up before the end of the year. Spring is a crazy busy time and we are going to finish the year on a high note for sure! Toward that end, middle school in the spring is always an exciting time and we need to remind our kiddos to finish strongly on all fronts, including academically! Stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize!!
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

Choir Update!
We are pleased to share with you that both our Men's and Women's Choir received division 1 ratings from all 6 judges at UIL (the highest scores possible).
Special thanks to the Track coaches for allowing athletes to miss some of their practice for our UIL recording, as well as Mr. Dodd and Mrs. Nguyen for keeping the band and orchestra areas quiet while we recorded. These students have seet a high bar for the choir program, and I look forward to sharing continued success with you. Below is a picture of their trophies.
We are beyond proud of Mr. Lovell and our performers! Congratulations!!
