Reno Valley is proud to announce that we have been granted a Resist chapter at our school. The purpose of the Resist program is to educate students about the dangers of tobacco and combat tobacco use in the schools. The students in the program will spend time researching tobacco use and sharing their findings with students at Reno Valley, SHE, and NES, with the ultimate goal of decreasing tobacco use in our district. We are proud of this group for stepping up to the challenge and look forward to seeing them in action.
The members of the Resist program are: back row- Mrs. Annis (sponsor), Katie King, Sydney Clasen, Delaney Childs. Front row: Isaiah Hathaway, Will Barkley, Denae Engelland, Sadie Marciano.

The students in Mr. Hampl's 8th Grade Social Studies class have been learning about American Civic values, such as respect, responsibility, and integrity. These students participated in a simulation where Jace McCartney played someone overweight being bullied by student Tyler Morrell. Margaret Melton played a student standing up against bullying, while Kyleigh Hathaway was a bystander. The students learned that the civic value of courage applies when confronting bullying.
Last Thursday evening, RVMS parents joined us for an informative evening about our school year and were educated about the four pillars that we follow here at RVMS: Respect, Growth Mindset, Responsibility, and Conflict Management. Parents were divided by grade level of their child(ren), and teachers explained the pillars and engaged parents in some activities related to those pillars. Looking forward to a great year!
