Fall Athletic Ceremony Info
Have you noticed the orange bows at RMS?
The orange bows indicate RMS Tigers are supporting one of our own in her fight with Leukemia. During the Thanksgiving holiday, McKenzi Currie was diagnosed with Leukemia and has been undergoing treatment at St Jude. McKenzi is a 7th-grade basketball cheerleader at RMS.
Students have been making cards & writing letters to encourage McKenzi while she is staying at the Ronald McDonald House. We know she is a fighter, and her Tiger family wants to be sure she doesn’t forget it!
Basketball homecoming took place on January 9th. Students & staff wore their Team McKenzi shirts. McKenzi’s mom, Jessica, attended the homecoming pep rally and FaceTimed with McKenzi so she could be a part of the event.
If you would like a Team McKenzi shirt, the deadline to order is Friday, Jan 31st. The proceeds from shirt sales go directly to McKenzi’s family. Mrs. Katrina Henson has donated her time to make the shirts. We are grateful for Mrs. Henson and many others in Lauderdale County Schools who have made donations to the Currie family to ensure their focus is on McKenzi’s battle!
RMS was blessed by the Lauderdale County Branch of the NAACP. President Dwight Beard, Vice-President Willie Pounds were joined by Blandi Parham, Dashia Beard, Ty Beard, Fred Beard and Janean Beard to deliver their donation to the RMS administration team as a part of their Martin Luther King, Jr Day of Service. Branch 5660 delivered clothing items, personal hygiene products and food items for the RMS counselors to distribute as needed. Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Hearn are grateful for the generous gift to our student body.
Happy School Board Appreciation Week!
Correction: Bus 23 will NOT run this afternoon.
Next Booster Club Meeting: Tuesday, 1/28/25 @ 5:30 in the RMS Cafeteria!
Lauderdale County Schools Superintendent Accepts New Role
https://www.lced.net/article/1983291
Lauderdale Co. Schools will be in session and operating on normal schedule on Monday, January 13, 2025. Although roads are mostly clear, please take your time and watch for isolated patches of lingering ice on county roads and bridges during your morning commute. Schools will be mindful of the need for extra travel time and will excuse reasonable tardies. Have a great evening!
