helping Families during the holidays
As the winter and the holiday season approaches, the staff at Reuther Middle School is interested in gathering information from our school community regarding need for support. Each year our school is approached by outside organizations who want to provide different opportunities for supporting our community. We are hoping that we will be able to partner with some of these organizations again this year. In the event we are given the opportunity to help, we are gathering information from families in advance so that we can more easily pair a family in need with perspective resources.
If you are interested in sharing a need for support, please complete the form at this link: Reuther Family Need Survey

Mindfulness journal for students, parents & staff!
Mrs. Mainero created a 30 day mindfulness journal for students, parents, and staff in our community. It is a quick 3-minute journaling page to focus on the good in the morning and then reflect on the day in the evening. It is an editable PDF you can download. It can be printed or filled out on a computer and saved each day. We hope it can give some structure to focus on something good during this challenging and traumatic time.
