War in Ukraine
This past week, BCSD in collaboration with Dutchess County, collected items to assist in the humanitarian relief effort in Ukraine. We plan to hold more donation events and will continue to update the community when these events take place. In the coming weeks, our Art Club will be selling handmade items through a "pop-up shop" fundraiser. All "pop up shop" proceeds will be donated to the UN Refugee Agency in order to help those affected by this war. In addition, during the district's most recent professional learning day, the RMS Social Studies department worked on grade level lessons that would help students unpack the Russia/Ukraine conflict. As a school we are mindful of the sensitivity of this ever-changing conflict and we are working on ways to thoughtfully teach these types of complex current events. Stay tuned for more information!
Earth Month Competition
Beginning on April 1st, the Environmental Club will be competing in the USAgain Earth Month Clothing Donation challenge. Please bring any old textiles to our donations bins located on Matteawan Road in the old main entrance parking lot of RMS. We accept clothes, shoes and household textiles in reusable condition. Household textiles include tablecloths, towels, bedding, blankets, bedspreads, etc. Clothes, shoes and textiles must be clean and dry and dropped off in tied bags. Last year, our school came in 4th place in the national competition, please help us get to first this year!
Ice Cream Lab in 7th Grade Science
Ms. Lynch & Ms. Baisley want to remind 7th grade students and parents to bring in their materials for tomorrow's ice cream lab! Items can be dropped off to B119 in the morning. Follow us on social media (RomboutMS) for updates on this fun activity!
GLSEN Workshops
In May, the non-for profit group GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network), will be working with our faculty in professional development sessions, pushing into some of our classes, and partnering with our Kaleidoscope Club to plan pride month activities. GLSEN works in conjunction with K-12 schools to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. We are always looking for ways to affirm the environment for all students and promote a positive school culture. More details on these events coming soon!
