The RoboColts win again! This past Saturday, the RFMS RoboColts traveled to Bogle Junior High in Chandler for a tournament. Both teams did well, but Team A walked away with the Amaze Award for the first time in SMUSD robotics history! That marks the sixth award in four tournaments so far this season, tying a district record set 4 years ago. One more award this season will make it our winningest season ever!

Huge news out of Prescott today. The two RFMS VEX Robotics teams traveled to Prescott today and were the only 2 middle school teams in the tournament. Both teams met up in the finals to face each other for the tournament championship. Team A came out with our first tournament championship in four years! They were teamed up with former RoboColts, Charlie, Isaac, and Brayden. Team B did great making it to the finals. Both teams brought home trophies, bringing our count for this season to 5 trophies in our first three events. Next week we travel to Chandler for a middle school only tournament, and hopefully some more awards!






January is School Board Appreciation month. Thank you to our dedicated school Board Members for their support on our campuses and in our community. We appreciate your time and service to our students and staff.
