Middle School

Barth 5^th grade students had the opportunity to visit the middle school this spring in an effort to get to know the building they will be joining next school year. Students got the chance to meet their future teachers, learn about different activities and programs the middle school offers, and were able to show off their smarts by already raising their hands to answer questions. Good luck to these students as they start a new adventure in a new school this year. Although, after how well they did at the visit, we’re not sure they’ll need it.

Through our school’s Traveling Tuesday Program, Romulus Middle School students recently had the opportunity to visit Ypsilanti’s Michigan Firehouse Museum. Students learned how to be safe around fire, and what to do in a fire emergency. The museum guides let the students try out old-fashioned fire engines and showed them what the fireman barracks above the stations look like. The trip also gave them a taste of college life with a visit to Eastern Michigan University’s campus in downtown Ypsi.

Romulus Middle School students in our Traveling Tuesday program recently took a trip to the Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor to learn about different plants and soil. The students tested soil samples and learned about the intricacies of Michigan’s diverse ecosystem. They also studied plants, animals, and the environment of the Great Lakes region. After their visit to the greenhouses, bonsai garden, and children’s garden, the students made and gave presentations to present what they had learned throughout the day.

This spring, Romulus Middle School held an Open House. The goal of the event was to help prospective Romulus families understand the different parts of RMS curriculum, in hopes that many would consider enrolling their children at the school this coming school year. Not only was it an Open House, but a packed house, with tons of families coming in to visit! Kudos to RMS teachers for a successful, fun-filled event.

Romulus Middle School was invited to attend the 6 th Annual STEM Savvy Conference at Wayne County
