RCMS would like to send a huge thank you to our local Walmart and their store supervisor, Mike, for selecting us to receive a community grant! Mrs. Adams submitted a request to help grow our digital library and she was able to purchase 74 new titles for our students to read or listen to on Sora! Books on Sora are available to students 24/7/365 so that means that our students can read or listen to books anytime, anywhere! Thank you Walmart!
