Ruth Fisher Middle School

We are proud to celebrate our amazing Ruth Fisher Middle School Principal — Mr. Matt Dobesh! 💚💛

Mr. Dobesh is a true advocate for both teachers and students, working tirelessly to ensure our Colts receive the highest quality education every single day. He’s present, engaged, and dedicated to making RFMS a place where students thrive and staff feel supported. 🐎✨

As we wrap up our final night of the APEX fundraiser, we invite you to make a last-minute donation to help fund our Colts Day activities — days filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable experiences for our students each month!

Tomorrow’s Color Blast will be a celebration to remember… and yes, you’ll want to see the video of Mr. Dobesh taking a pie to the face for our Colts! 🥧😂

🎉🔬 Science Spotlight! 🔬🎉

Ms. Quinn’s 7th grade scientists showed the power of cooperative learning this week by building their very own “Cell Cities”! 🏙️✨

Students worked together to design creative posters that compared the parts of a city to the parts of a cell — like the nucleus as City Hall or the cell membrane as the city gates. 🚪🏛️

Not only did they bring science to life with imagery and visuals, but they also strengthened their writing skills by explaining how each city part connects to cell functions. 📝💡

👏 Way to go, 7th graders — your teamwork, creativity, and science smarts truly made the classroom buzz with energy!
