Mrs. Daniel and Mrs. Willcutt’s RDMS students had such a fantastic day! Special thanks to our Caring Cats, Mrs. Starr, Mr. Olson, Ms. Hood, and Ms. Darkis! Students decorated their own Easter egg hunting bag. They paused to eat their earned reward (PIZZA PARTY!!). Then the hunt was on! Caring cats did a wonderful job hiding over 200 eggs!
Rising 5th grade students (current 4th grade students) are invited to a family meeting at RDMS! We look forward to seeing our future students!
RDMS students, Seven and Cooper, showed a lot of determination and problem-solving skills to decipher a Rubik's Cube during WIN this week. Both started the week as beginners, but they both successfully navigated the challenge. Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube?
RDMS Spring Portraits will be on Tuesday, April 22nd. Students who choose to have their picture taken on that day should return their form/envelope with a $5 prepayment for the pictures.

Congratulations to the members of the RDMS chess team who competed in the Arch Ford chess tournament on Wednesday.
Jacob Z and Sahi M both played well. Jacob finished in 5th place, and Sahi took home the 2nd place trophy in the 5th grade and under division.
Finn A and Henry G played in the championship game of the 6th-grade tournament. In an exciting game that went back and forth, Henry secured a checkmate as time expired to win the tournament and give RDMS a first and second-place finish.
Way to go!
Mrs. Willcutt and Mrs. Daniel’s class created Easter Bunny Punch today during WIN time! 🐰
Free Dental Clinic this weekend!
Mr. Stacks and Mrs. Oates are truly the best Assistant Principals in the game! Their leadership, dedication, and support make them invaluable to RDMS. They go above and beyond to create a positive environment for both staff and students, always bringing innovative ideas and solutions. We’re lucky to have them!
In February, 6th graders Melanie, Henry, and Greer swept the Junior Historical Paper category at History Day Regionals, earning spots at the State competition. This weekend, all three students—along with their families—braved flash flooding to successfully present their papers to judges at UCA. Greer’s paper on The Lost Year in Little Rock earned the Special Arkansas History Prize, awarded by the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and the Central Arkansas Library System. Henry placed second in the STATE for his paper on the Newsboys Strike of 1899, qualifying him for the National History Day contest in Washington, D.C. this June! Congratulations to all three students on their outstanding achievements!
