Congratulations to RCMS’s Science Bowl Team!  On March 7th, ten students represented RCMS at the State Science Bowl Competition held by the US Department of Energy at Prince George’s Community College.  Clemente battled hard and each team only lost one match each, but we came home with the 2nd place trophy for the entire state of Maryland.  Congrats to the entire team!

The RCMS Math Team participated in the MATHCOUNTS Chapter Competition on Saturday, February 8, 2020 which was held at the University of Maryland.  Our school team got third place. The members of this team were Sumedh Vangara,  Milo Stammers, Bryan Yung and Eric Huang.  The other six individuals that represented our school were Swarnabh Maharjan, David Ruan, Saahas Yaddula, Alex Wang, Neel Bhattacharyya and Daniel Ling.  Our school team and all individuals are going to the State Competition on March 14, 2020.  Congratulations, RCMS Math Team!

This past Friday, Chance Hattrick, one of our MSCS 7th graders, competed in the countywide “My Kid’s Got Talent” competition at Ridgeview Middle School. The competition was hosted by “America’s Got Talent” Season 13 Finalist Brian King Joseph, and was coordinated by The Foundation for Financial Education. The competition featured many talented singers, dancers, instrumentalists from the local area middle and high schools.  Chance Hattrick won second place and a $3,000 college scholarship for his solo piano preformance of Schubert’s Vier Impromptus No. 4. All of the performers knocked the audience’s socks off, and Brian King Joseph got the crowd hyped by playing five different pieces (including one he had never played live before). Another RCMS magnet 6^th  grader, Brandon Purba, participated in the competition as well — he won the Student’s Choice award and a $500 college scholarship.
