Students in Mr. Wainwrights classroom like to draw and write messages on both of his white boards. One message advertises an RM Craft Fair (organized by the sophomore SGA) the week after spring break for students to sell their crafty merch or take art commissions. Freshman Elli Jacobs, an avid crocheter, is excited. I think it would be really cool to sell some of the things Ive made on mainstreet. Each project takes me a while so Im not sure how many I would be able to make, but I will probably make little mushrooms and stuff, she said.

Last month, teachers received a tech upgrade to their classroom-a new Promethean board. Chemistry teacher Michael Ashmead (pictured standing in front of the board) uses this board to demonstrate the steps for solving complex chemistry problems to his students. Junior and AP chemistry student Rayan Molkara appreciates the helpful addition. “Personally, I do benefit from the content being drawn out, especially since we are required to replicate exactly what Mr. Ashmead does,” Molkara said. “Seeing him write out the steps is helpful.”

Through hard work and effort RM’s South Asian Student Association (SASA) successfully threw a cultural fair on Friday, November 5th. Students learned about South Asian culture, watched singing and dancing performances put on by the South Asian A Capella group (SAA) and Club Natya and were able to get henna drawn on their hand from SASA members. Senior Deepa Kaur, pictured above, was one of the henna artists. “The turn out was much larger than I expected but it was great!” Kaur said. “I tried to finish a design in about a minute so everyone that wanted henna could get some and I had the help of 2 other ladies who did an amazing job.”
