Students donated blood on March 29 through the blood drive, an annual event run by the RM-SGA. Senior Kira Miller waits as she fills an entire pint of blood, which could save three lives. "It was a great experience with kind people and a simple process. If you're eligible, I highly recommend donating," Miller said.

The RM Softball team prepares for their upcoming season in March by hosting winter workouts after school. Sophomores Dylan Lustig, Yasmin Basora and Lianna Melkir gather next to juniors Nora Kelley and Alexis Tungcod and other players for a end-of-workout team cheer. "I love winter workouts because I get to see all of my teammates that I haven't played with for a while, and because we sucker our coach into letting us have an excess amount of team bonding,. As a senior, I cherish moments with my team where we an all be together laughing and joking with one another," senior Bela Santos said. Workouts are held every Tuesday from 3:15-4:15 next to the Cafeteria.
