RMMS Alum are named CAS-CIAC Scholar-Athletes

CAS-CIAC RECOGNIZES SCHOLAR-ATHLETES
The Scholar-Athlete Program annually recognizes two high school seniors - one boy and one girl - from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage. 3 former RMMS students were recognized this spring at the Aquaturf: Brianne Mirecki (East Lyme), Rachel Gavin (New London), and Carlos Lozada (New London)

Email from Mary Mirecki, (Parent):
Good morning -
Thought you would want to know -
Last night we were at the Aquaturf for the CT Assoc of Schools Scholar Athlete banquet with Brianne (Mirecki).
Seated at the table next to us were Rachel Gavin and Carlos Lozada.

This is quite an accomplishment for our school - these kids have distinguished themselved in both the classroom and on the playing fields -- and in the case of these 3 students it is track and field where they have excelled. It was mentioned that the academic criteria to be considered for Scholar Athlete is a minimum 3.5 GPA.

As Brianne went through the 2002 yearbook she found 4 more RMMS alum who have been All State track athletes - Sam Saccamano, Ally Mason, Jasmine Cox, and Joe Massad (cross country).

What a wonderful community we have; I'm proud to be part of what you all do every day.
Have a great week-
Mary
