Ms. Cinderella's Storytelling Group

Ms. Cinderella inspires the storyteller and artist in each of us. Students learn about storytelling and art in different cultures. Second and third graders learned about Hawaii, made leis, and wrote poems. They take a trip around the world through the power of words and images.

Student Teachers

Our teachers value the importance of sharing knowledge and striving to always keep current. These values lead to the responsibility of preparing a new generation of educators. We welcome dozens of interns, college volunteers, student teachers and various individuals through other partnerships with local colleges and universities this and every semester. We have the incredible pleasure to have many student teachers this fall who have been with us since the end of August. They have set themselves apart by going above and beyond with curriculum, instruction, and participation in our learning community. We value what they give to us each day in enriching the lives of our students and our adults. Today is their last day at RMMS. We will miss them, but wish them luck as they go out and change the world.

Teacher of the Year



La Musica esta en nuestro corazon!

Music is in our hearts. Music is Life.

Our teacher of the year inspires each of us to find the artist within,
to think and reflect quietly,
to sing with passion,
to try something new,
to strive to capture the inner spaces of peace that rest between the noise and clutter that often surrounds us,
to listen, to breathe.

Our teacher of the year is often quiet,
Speaks thoughtfully from the heart,
Even protects us when crossing the street in crosswalks.

This colleague and teacher inspires our children to reach down to their deepest selves and give their all, to cooperate and work together toward a common goal, to achieve the best.
What this individual brings from the students is described by one of our teachers as "breathtakingly beautiful."

He reminds each of us to "clear the table in order to keep in focus that which truly is important in our lives, the music that is inside each of us.

La Musica esta en nuestro corazon!

Our teacher of the year, LEARN's district teacher of the year, Mr. Kevin Salley.

Namaste.
