C.W. Ruckel Middle School

Help Support the "67" fundraiser!

We need your help! It’s time to kick off our fall “67” themed fundraiser to raise money for campus beautification. Your RMS PTO is trying to kick it up a notch this fall and harness all the 67 fun to make RMS a better place! This is a volunteer driven campaign, supported by the administration that will hopefully spread excitement and energy around campus. In the coming days, you are going to see and hear about the fall fundraising efforts. We need your support, energy and communication to make this a success. From .67 cents to $670.00 we hope to make this an enjoyable and fun campaign! The goal: $15,000.00 in 21 days Dates: October 20-November 7, 2025 Payment platforms: Vertical Raise (online), cash or check. We will always accept cash or checks but will be advertising Vertical Raise as the online student platform. The registration process is very easy and user friendly. All homerooms have been uploaded to Vertical Raise, so students are assigned via homeroom.

Next week is red ribbon week. Get prepared.
