RMS Students Propose  Ways To Make Pickup and Drop-off More Eco-friendly.  
We are RMS students, and we made a project in science to help reduce global warming. Our project was based off of our concerns about the energy inefficiency of RMS's pick-up and drop-off system. The video links to our project and it is about rules and suggestions that we think would help fix this problem while also decreasing traffic in the system. 
If you have any more questions, please contact Jennifer Lo or Tanvi Bedekar

RMS ASB is running a spring fundraiser from March 26th through April 11th. We are teaming up with a local organization to sell spring/summer hanging baskets and they cost only $40 each!  These baskets make a great Mother's Day gift. Baskets will be sold by students at RMS and delivery is Friday, May 5th and Saturday, May 6th  from our campus. 
The goal is to raise $15,000 and over 65% of the funds raised will go directly to ASB to help us pay for sports buses, music competition entry fees, popcorn Thursdays and other fun events at RMS.
