What is your favorite thing about RMS?

RMS is an inspiring learning community. I learn things all the time from visiting classrooms and seeing our staculty in action with our students. I love seeing how curiosity is cultivated and manifests in each of the levels, from the sheer wonder of a toddler to the more discriminating and thoughtful reflection of our middle schoolers

If you could bring back one trend from your childhood, what would it be?

Legwarmers! Oh wait! They are back! LOL! 

What was the best trip you’ve ever been on, and what made it so memorable?

10 days in Utah this past summer - the vastness of the landscapes, the unforgettable desert geography, and the geology! Rafting past rock formations that date back 500 million years was perspective altering. The pictographs and petroglyphs from ancient cultures connected me to time in a completely different way
