Congratulations to the Red Bud Middle Teacher and Staff Member of the Month, Mrs. Kristen Matherly and Nurse Kristi Langham!
Nurse Kristi is a jewel! She is the unofficial school mom to every student in the building and always has a smile on her face with a kind compassionate word when dealing with everybody's headaches, stomach viruses, colds, flu, strep, COVID, cuts, scrapes, nosebleeds, and just medical issues in general. We are extremely grateful to have her as a part of our Phoenix Family!
Mrs. Matherly is an amazing teacher who is loved by all her current and former students!
She also devotes countless hours at school, at after school events, and at home creating our wonderful yearbook. She always does her best to showcase all aspects of RBMS in the yearbook and her hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed. We are extremely grateful to have her as part of our Phoenix Family!
There are lots of activities at RBMS this week.
March 4-8 is National School Breakfast Week -- our theme is Surf’s Up with School Breakfast, so your cafeterias will be filled with surfboards and waves and some special themed breakfast dishes like Point Break Potato Bowl and Shark Attack Yogurt Cup. Also, celebrity servers will be visiting the cafeteria lines. We encourage everyone to break out their Hawaiian shirts!
