Each year, RMS creates a video highlighting local veterans and alumni who have served. We invite veterans who attended RMS or currently live in Rochelle to submit a short video sharing their experiences. These clips are combined into a single video that teachers show in classrooms. While social studies classes will focus primarily on the video, it will be available for all students to view.

In the past, RMS has had hallway displays dedicated to Veterans Day, showcasing how service has evolved across different periods of war. This year, Mrs. Anderson is creating a more permanent display to celebrate and honor our veterans. RMS is still seeking alumni to help us honor our veterans by contributing to our permanent Veteran’s Wall - you may submit your photo and information to Mrs. Anderson at any time! (Details below)
-------------------------------------------------
Cada año, RMS crea un video que destaca a los veteranos locales y exalumnos que han servido. Invitamos a los veteranos que asistieron a RMS o que actualmente viven en Rochelle a enviar un breve video compartiendo sus experiencias. Estos clips se combinan en un solo video que los maestros muestran en las clases. Aunque las clases de estudios sociales se enfocarán principalmente en el video, estará disponible para que todos los estudiantes lo vean.

En el pasado, RMS ha tenido exhibiciones en los pasillos dedicadas al Día de los Veteranos, mostrando cómo ha evolucionado el servicio a lo largo de diferentes períodos de guerra. Este año, la Sra. Anderson está creando una exhibición más permanente para celebrar y honrar a nuestros veteranos. RMS todavía está buscando exalumnos que nos ayuden a honrar a los veteranos contribuyendo a nuestro Muro Permanente de Veteranos de RMS; ¡pueden enviar su foto e información a la Sra. Anderson en cualquier momento! (Detalles a continuación)

In honor of Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead on November 1st/2nd), Ms. Milan, Ms. Ramirez, and Ms. Milan created a beautiful ofrenda for Rochelle Middle School to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. As part of this meaningful display, they invited students and staff to share photos of their own family members and friends, fostering a sense of community and remembrance. They also took time to explain what an ofrenda represents and its deep significance in Hispanic culture - highlighting how it serves as a way to celebrate the lives of those who came before us and keep their memory alive through love, tradition, and shared stories.
