RMS Student-Teacher Volleyball Tournament

The RMS staff vs student volleyball games, which take place the two days prior to winter break, have been going on for 14 years. Yes, 14! It's an exciting time at RMS. The whole month of December is the volleyball unit. Students first learn skills and practice them. Then they pick their own team and create a fun, friendly, appropriate team name.  Students then play in pool play--three volleyball matches to determine their seed for the volleyball tournament.  The volleyball tournament is single elimination.  The team that wins their class bracket takes on their grade level teachers.  Teachers also enjoy this community event as it builds relationships outside the classroom with their students.  Friendly trash talking and smiles all around. 

Fun fact - Teachers have won every match since it started! Yay!
