Our choir concerts were absolutely amazing! The students’ hard work and dedication truly shined through in every performance. Their confidence, harmony, and stage presence made for a memorable evening, and it was clear how much time and effort they put into preparing. We are so proud of our talented singers and grateful to everyone who helped make the night such a success!

Pic of the Week

Meet your Educator of the Year, Ms. Reavis! Her vibrant personality, youthful energy, and spunky spirit light up our school every day. As our choir and drama teacher, she brings creativity, enthusiasm, and heart into everything she does. Students love being in her class because she makes them feel confident, valued, and excited to perform. Her passion for music and theater is contagious, inspiring students to step out of their comfort zones and shine both on and off the stage.

Be sure to come support her talented students at the upcoming musical Matilda on April 2nd and 3rd—it sure to be an incredible show! 🎭🎶

🆘 SOS: Kleenex & Hand Sanitizer Donations Needed! 🤧🧴

Cold and flu season is here, and we are going through tissues fast! Our classrooms are in need of Kleenex and hand sanitizer to help keep students comfortable, healthy, and learning without interruption.

If you’re able to donate a box of tissues or a bottle of hand sanitizer (or a few!), please have your student bring them to the front office or give them to their advisory teacher. Every donation truly helps and is so appreciated.

Thank you for answering our SOS and helping keep our school healthy! 💙

Meet the CRMS Staff: Red Hawk of the week

Each week, we’ll shine the spotlight on a member of our amazing staff, giving our families a chance to learn more about the people who make our school special.

Meet Ms. Emma Rago

7th Grade Science

This is my fifth year at Coal Ridge Middle School, and I truly love being part of this community!

I enjoy teaching middle school science because I get to help students discover the science in the world around them. Watching their curiosity grow—and hopefully spark a lifelong passion for learning—is the best part of my job.

When I’m not at school, you can find me traveling, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying a good cup of coffee.
