Mr. Moore’s Announcements 9\/3\/19 to 9\/6\/19<\/h2>\n

#WeAreRugby<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone for an amazing first week.\u00a0 Last week was the smoothest opening week in recent memory, thanks in part to a great community and a great staff, all with the goal of providing a nurturing and productive experience for our GREAT STUDENTS!\u00a0 We are Rugby, and we are off to a great start!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our fall athletic teams have begun their contests with a wildly successful first week in which RMS emerged undefeated for the week.\u00a0 We strongly encourage parents, students and community members to come join us in supporting our students and cultivating school spirit.\u00a0 Admission for students is $2 and for adults is $4. Our athletic department also offers an All Sports Pass for the school year (offers a significant savings if you attend athletic contests throughout the year).\u00a0 Contact Mr. Gates for more information about this and sponsorship opportunities through our athletic department. These routine emails to families will always include the schedule of upcoming events, athletic and otherwise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As we move further into the school year, Rugby will also host many events to highlight our exceptional Fine Arts programs as well.\u00a0 Encourage your students to participate, and we hope you will join us to see the talent of our students and teachers working together!\u00a0 The first of these opportunities will be our annual fall musical, and this year, that will be <\/strong>Mary Poppins<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 These auditions begin on Monday, September 16.\u00a0 If your student is interested, encourage him\/her to pay close attention to announcements, which will provide details about these opportunities.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rugby offers a unique monthly\u00a0 opportunity for students and families to engage in a \u201cbook club\u201d together.\u00a0 Rugby Reading Raiders offers families the chance to read the same books and complete activities designed by students.\u00a0 The first <\/strong>Reading Raiders<\/strong> of the 2019-20 school year will be held in the RMS Media Center on <\/strong>Tuesday, September 17 at 6:15<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fall Picture Day<\/strong> is <\/strong>Thursday, September 12<\/strong>.\u00a0 Lifetouch sends a significant portion of the proceeds back to the school, so school pictures are a great way to support the school and to document this phase in your student\u2019s life.\u00a0 Expect further communication about this in the near future.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Open House<\/strong>– To improve the experience for all involved, we split our Open House into two separate events, one for 7th and 8th grade and a separate one for 6th grade.\u00a0 The schedule for these is as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
