A group of Riverside Middle School 8th graders are currently in Washington, D.C. learning about and seeing history close-up. The students and staff chaperones have so far toured the Pentagon, the many monuments, the National Archives, the Jefferson Memorial, the Spy Museum, and more. We look forward to hearing all about their trip when they return. ✈

RMS Spring Musical Debuts Tonight!

The Riverside Middle School Drama Club will present Goosebumps Phantom of the Auditorium by R.L Stine tonight at 7 p.m. and tomorrow, Saturday (March 21) at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the RMS gymnasium. The musical is open to the public. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for students, and children age 4 and younger are free.

The musical stars RMS 6th, 7th, & 8th graders. The story follows Brooke and Zeke, two enthusiastic students cast as the leads in their school’s mysterious production of The Phantom. As strange notes and spooky happenings begin to disrupt rehearsals, the cast wonders if the legend of the real phantom haunting the auditorium might be true. What unfolds is a fun, fast-paced mix of mystery and comedy as the students work together to uncover the truth. 👻
