🍍 Did you know pineapple is Mr. Faust’s FAVORITE fruit?! 🍍 Neither did we. And, to be completely transparent… we actually have no idea if that’s true. 😂 But once someone said it, we decided to fully commit to the narrative. So, the RMS staff showed up in their finest pineapple attire 🍍, collected an impressive assortment of pineapple-themed treasures, and gave Mr. Faust’s office a little tropical makeover. 🌴🍍 Fresh pineapple? Yep. Canned pineapple? Of course. Pineapple décor? Naturally. Staff dressed like pineapples? You know it. Mr. Faust questioning every decision that led him to this moment? Absolutely. 😂 Is pineapple actually his favorite fruit? Who knows. Is it now? It better be. 🍍🤣 Just another perfectly normal day with the RMS family. 💙💚 #RaysUp #ExcellenceInEveryRay #RMSFamily

🧠 Seeing Through Someone Else’s Eyes! Ms. Davidson’s 5th graders put their critical-thinking skills to work by responding to scenarios from the perspectives of different characters. Students considered how a character’s experiences, thoughts, and feelings can shape the way they view and respond to a situation. A great way to build perspective, empathy, and deeper understanding of characters! 📚✨ #RaysUp #ExcellenceInEveryRay

Thursday, August 27th is a FREE PTA Dress Down Day! 👕

As two schools come together as one, let’s celebrate our school spirit by rocking a throwback spirit shirt from years past!

Students may wear a previous Rosewood or Storm Grove spirit shirt while following the regular uniform guidelines for bottoms. Uniform skirts, shorts, or pants must be worn — no jeans, please.

For our Kindergarten Stingrays, if you don’t have a throwback Rosewood spirit shirt, you may wear a spirit shirt from a school you previously attended.

We can’t wait to see everyone showing off their school spirit! 💚💙

¡Hola, amigos! 🇪🇸✨ ¿Cómo te llamas? ¿Cómo estás? Ms. Price’s Spanish students are building their conversational skills by practicing introductions and sharing how they’re feeling—all en español! 🗣️💬 These simple conversations are helping our Stingrays grow their confidence one phrase at a time! 💙💚 #RaysUp #SpanishClass #LearningInAction #ExcellenceInEveryRay

📜👑 History came to life in Civics today! Mrs. Harris and Mr. Cangemi’s Civics students have been studying the Magna Carta and its lasting influence on American government. To bring the lesson to life, they summoned “King Faust” and his 1st Grade Guard to the kingdom! Just as the nobles forced King John to agree to their demands in 1215, our students held King Faust at noodle-point until he agreed to sign theirs. 😂⚔️ (Same basic idea… slightly safer weaponry!) A huge thank you to Mr. Faust and his mighty 1st Grade Guard for being such good sports and helping turn history into a hands-on experience our students won’t soon forget! 👑📜⚔️ Long live King Faust… as long as he respects the Magna Carta! 😄 #RaysUp #TheSchoolWhereItHappens #CivicsInAction #MagnaCarta #HandsOnLearning #MakingHistoryComeAlive
