We Play To Win! RMS students, in only their 1st full year of participation, took 1st place in the 13th Annual Tenacity Challenge this past weekend.

The Middle School Tenacity Challenge, an annual academic competition for teams of 7th and 8th grade Latino(a) and African-American students, consists of four events (Leadership Action Project, Global Voice Literary Analysis, Math Quiz Bowl Challenge, and STEM Challenge) centered around the themes of leadership, empowerment, and tenacity. Through lengthy preparation and participation in the event, students build academic capacity, strengthen intellectual risk-taking, hone leadership skills through an action project, and develop enduring peer and faculty relationships.
Congratulations to our students and educators on a job well done! #RMSFLYERSPRIDE #MIDDIEPRIDE
