C.W. Ruckel Middle School

Rams, we are SO close to our next goal! We only need $2,305.00 more to reach $10,000.00 and get a school wide dress down day!



Here’s how easy it is: if 92 families give $25.00 in the next 24 hours, we’ll hit our next goal!



Every donation makes a difference for our RMS students, staff, and school. If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, today is the day to hit the EASY button!

Left Side vs. Right Side! Is it physical or chemical? Our students put their science skills to the test in a friendly competition to identify and sort examples of physical and chemical changes. Which side will TAKE THE LEAD? 🐏🖤💛
