March is bringing us READ ACROSS AMERICA in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. All next week, come to the library to take a guess in the “One Fish, Two Fish” estimating challenge. One guess per person. There will be a prize for the closest guess in each grade. March Book Madness will also be starting soon. Pick up your bracket from the library after Tuesday. Brackets must be turned in before voting begins in order to be eligible for prizes, but everyone can vote! Stay tuned for more information!

• We are starting something new this week at RMS. Every week we will select a college that one of our teachers attended and give you interesting facts and information about the school. If you hear something you want to know more about, just ask that teacher!

Mr. Young started us off.  He attended Central Washington University in Ellensburg.

• Young’s favorite memories of his time at Central were sledding down the water tower hill using his friend’s Tuba case as the sled and riding his bike through campus when there was 3 feet of snow and 40 mile per hour winds!!
