This morning I attended a "Ram Rally" at the middle school. A Ram Rally, for the uninitiated, is a whole school assembly to celebrate the accomplishments of our students. Today, some of the things students were congratulated for include: making the honor roll, working hard in their classes, receiving a Ram O'Gram, and for attending a summer enrichment program "Raymond Roundtables". The soccer teams were also introduced and showed everyone some of their skills with a soccer ball. There was also time for a friendly contest between the grades.
This event is held monthly and is a wonderful way to remind our students that hard work pays off and provides our middle school students a time to be recognized for their work and good citizenship. These students should all go home and tell their families about their recognition. I know that these celebrations also serve to encourage other students to always do their best.
