What a way to celebrate our AMAZING 8th graders! 💚💛🎉
Our food service staff absolutely knocked it out of the park again this year with a fun, festive, and delicious spread for our students’ final lunch as Ruth Fisher Middle School Colts! From the decorations to the food to all the little details, they made sure our 8th graders felt extra special today.
There were smiles, laughter, friendships, and so many memories shared as students enjoyed one last lunch together before heading off to high school. It was such a special moment watching this class celebrate together one final time at RFMS.
Tomorrow we can’t wait to cheer them on at our awards assembly as we officially send them off to their next adventure! We are so proud of this group and know they are going to do incredible things in high school. You will always have a home here at RFMS!
Colts Green and Gold forever! 💚💛🐴 #RFMSColts #ColtsGreenAndGold #8thGradeCelebration #ColtPride #OnceAColtAlwaysAColt

What an incredible way to wrap up our final Colts Day of the year at RFMS! 💚💛
This year has been filled with amazing learning, unforgettable memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime. Our students have grown academically, socially, and as leaders, and we could not be more proud of all they have accomplished this year.
Students kicked off the day cheering on our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders as the boys and girls basketball teams took on the teachers in a crowd-favorite showdown! The gym was filled with excitement, laughter, and school spirit as students rallied behind their classmates. In the end, the teachers pulled off the win with a final score of 18-7! 🏀
After the game, students headed into their Colts Day activities, with many choosing to cool off by jumping into our “heated” pool! 🌊 There was nonstop laughter and excitement as students swam the afternoon away and celebrated an amazing school year together.
A huge thank you to our lifeguards Coach Nez, Mrs. Castelamare, and Mrs. Stirman for helping keep our students safe while they enjoyed the festivities.
We are so thankful for the memories made this year and cannot wait to continue our monthly Colts Day celebrations next year! RFMS Colts Green and Gold forever! 💚💛
