This week’s Spirit Stick Award at Reagan Middle School goes to Ms. Oswalt and Mrs. Nicholson, our incredible main office secretaries who truly do it all. From greeting parents, students, and visitors the moment they walk through our doors, to supporting administrators and teachers, to calmly and compassionately triaging students who are not feeling well, they are on the front lines every single day. No matter how busy things get, they handle it all with professionalism, kindness, and a genuine smile. Ms. Oswalt and Mrs. Nicholson are a fantastic duo, the heartbeat of our front office, and RMS is incredibly lucky to have them both!
