🎨 A PIECE OF RMS HISTORY IS WAITING FOR YOU! 🎨
For many years, one of the special traditions of 8th Grade Art at Reagan Middle School was painting a ceiling tile. Some students created their own masterpieces, while others teamed up with a friend or small group to create something together. ❤️
Over the years, these tiles have become a colorful collection of RMS memories, creativity, friendships, and school history. Take a look at some of the amazing examples we’ve found! 👀🎨
Unfortunately, due to new fire code regulations, ceiling tiles can no longer be painted and displayed in our building. But we don’t want these pieces of RMS history to simply disappear!
✨ If you are a former 8th grade student who painted a ceiling tile, we would LOVE for you to come pick it up! ✨
Come walk through the halls of RMS, find your masterpiece, and take home a little piece of your middle school memories. 💜
📅 Ceiling Tile Pick-Up Dates:
🗓️ Wednesday, October 7
⏰ 4:00–7:00 PM
🗓️ Thursday, October 8
⏰ 12:30 - 3:30 PM
🗓️ Friday, October 9
⏰ 8:00 – 11:00 AM
Whether you painted a tile by yourself, with your best friend, or as part of a group, your artwork helped make RMS what it was. We hope you’ll come back, find it, and take it home! 🥰
💜 Come find your tile. Take home your memories. 🤍
