On Tuesday, May 6th, RMS Speech and Debate Club celebrated their EOY Banquet. Speech and Debate Club is a unique place for students to learn and grow, and I am honored to lead these brave and talented students. To quote our Team Captain, Arabella Kirk (8th grade), "[Speech and Debate students] have learned about confidence, self-expression, and the power of our voices."
Today our teachers were treated to a yogurt bar. Our PTO is amazing and they love our teachers.

The Okaloosa County School District has been made aware of scam phone calls targeting parents. In these calls, individuals falsely claim that a student has an outstanding lunch balance and instructs the parent to "press 1" to make a payment immediately.
Please be advised:
• The Okaloosa County School District does not contact families by phone to request payment in this manner.
• Any legitimate communication regarding student meal accounts would come through official district channels.
• In the recently reported case, the scammer provided incorrect student information and used what appeared to be a local phone number, which may have been spoofed.
If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal or payment information. Instead, hang up and contact your child's school or the district's Food Services Department directly for verification. Thank you for helping us keep our families informed and protected.
