On Friday, April 28th, our Rome Middle School readers traveled to Stars and Strikes in Dallas, Georgia to enjoy a great day of bowling, laser tag, and games! The top 150 middle school readers, as well as Main and Elm Street 6th graders, enjoyed a fun-filled day celebrating their reading accomplishments. In order to attend, students gained points by meeting their MAP growth goals, turning in their reading logs, creating book talks for others to see, or constantly modeling positive reading habits in class. Science, Social Studies, and Math teachers were also able to reward positive reading points to all students.
Thank you, students, for your participation in our RCS reading incentive program!

Rome City's elementary schools participated in Berry Elementary's Science Fair on Wednesday, April 26th. Elm, Main, and West End all sent fourth graders to present their projects to judges. Anna K. Davie and West Central sent fifth graders to present and compete against other local schools.
One of Anna K. Davie's groups presented their project entitled "What You Can't See" and won 2nd place. The students worked on their Science project in Ms. Charnita McIntosh's STEM class. The girls hypothesized that their teacher's cell phone would be one of the germiest items in their classroom. They tested several surfaces and concluded that it was not the germiest place in their classroom, but their window sill contained more germs than other tested surfaces. The girls stated that they chose this project to show to their classmates that it's important to wipe down surfaces because germs are in unsuspecting places.
This was the first year that Anna K. Davie participated in Berry's Science Fair and their STEM teacher, Ms. McIntosh, could not be prouder of her students. "They worked hard to prove their hypothesis and were very surprised by the results, which we all know can happen with hypotheses. The girls were able to talk in detail about their experiment to the judges and learned a lot throughout this process. I'm excited that they had this opportunity to represent Anna K. Davie. They are looking forward to coming back to compete again next year, and they are truly looking forward to attending college after being on Berry's beautiful campus."
The winning students were Aliyah Lo, Taylor Austin, Dekira Gordon, and Etana Moten (not pictured).
One of West Central's groups presented their project entitled "Magnets" and tied for 3rd place with one of Berry Elementary's 5th grade groups. The students worked on their Science project in Mrs. Natalie Hall's STEM class; they had to prove if increasing the number of magnets affected its magnetic field. This was the first year that West Central participated in Berry's Science Fair. Mrs. Natalie Hall stated "Our 4th and 5th grade Science fair teams did a great job representing their classes and demonstrating how they were able to follow the scientific method during their experiment to deepen their understanding of grade level science standards. They worked hard, practiced their presentations ahead of time, and represented Rome City Schools very well. We are very proud of all of them."
The winning students were: Telia Miliner, Zayden Moore, Christian Holiday, Alejandro Lopez, and Kamori Williamson.
