Storytelling with Bobbie Bush from the Chehalis Tribe Ms. Parson’s 7th grade classes had the privilege of welcoming Bobbie Bush, Communication Specialist and Storyteller from the Chehalis Tribe. Ms. Bush shared a traditional Native story about bears, ants, and bees, captivating students with her words and wisdom. Our students were eager, engaged, and grateful for the opportunity to learn through storytelling. Thank you, Ms. Bush, for sharing your time and culture with us!

Sweet Sounds and Sweet Treats at RMS! Thursday night’s RMS Band Concert began with a tasty Ice Cream Social and continued with incredible performances from all our band groups. The gym was packed with families and community members who came out to support our talented students. In honor of the concert theme, most bands played an ice cream-themed piece. The jazz band performed Orange Sherbert, the beginning band played Hot Fudge Sundae, and the concert band sounded great by playing Peppermint Twist. It was a fun, creative evening of music and community. Great job to all our student musicians!
