| Earlier this month Republic Middle School hosted its annual Science Night, and it was a wonderful success! Students and families spent the evening visiting booths hosted by area businesses and organizations showcasing how science is used every day in various careers. We appreciate these partners that donated their time to help our students make these real world connections. Also, we'd like to send a shout out to the RMS Science Department for implementing this fun and meaningful event! #repmoproud |

| Each year the district is proud to partner with People Helping People of Republic for a "Souper Bowl" food drive. This takes place the week prior to the Super Bowl, and is a fun way to challenge our students and employees to donate food items to this great organization. Collectively, 3,324.8 lbs was donated! We are so #repmoproud of the big hearts and service minds our students and employees continue to demonstrate. In addition, we appreciate these NHS students pictured above as they transported the donated items to PHP and helped weigh them. Awesome work, everyone! |
