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!

This week’s RMS Spirit Award goes to Mr. Bary Rabbitt, a paraprofessional who consistently makes a meaningful impact at Reagan Middle School. Bary has a great rapport with staff and students and shows tremendous flexibility, whether he is supporting different grade levels, assisting in classrooms, or stepping in to work with individual students when needed. He is a steady and positive role model for our middle schoolers and a dependable teammate for our staff. Bary shows up each day with patience, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to helping students grow, and we are grateful for everything he brings to RMS!!! #BePurple
