Today in STEM we learned about the history of electricity and lighting. We learned the components of circuits and the difference between direct current and alternating current.

RMS Students were rewarded with Hot Tickets today if they have been present at school all day and on time every day this week! Ask your student if they received one. If so, they get to wear an out of dress code top on Friday, 10/14/22. If your student didn't get a ticket this week, we will have lots more opportunities for Hot Tickets in the future!
