🤖 Red Lick Robotics: On a Winning Streak! 🏆 Our Red Lick Robotics teams have been busy proving that size and age don't matter when it comes to engineering and innovation! 📍 Recapping the "Terrell has Heart" VEX Competition On February 13, our VEX teams headed to Terrell, TX to face some serious competition—including several high school teams! Our students rose to the challenge: Finals Bound: BOTH teams successfully fought their way into that day's finals bracket! The Judge’s Award: After a hard loss in first round of the finals, the team Overload (Nolan Dumas, Ezra Dawson, Jett King, and Austin Taylor) was honored with the Judge’s Award. Semifinal Surge: Our second team "the Ducklings" (Everett DeGroot, Max Sowell, and Levi Yelverton) powered through to the semifinals, falling to the high school team that eventually won the entire event! 🎟️ Next Stop: State Championships! Thanks to their performance in the VEX "Skills" challenge, the Duckling received an invitation to the Region 2 State Championships! They will be representing Red Lick this Saturday in Trenton, TX. 📦 Warehouse Warriors Heading to Clarksville But what about the rest of Red Lick Robotics? This Friday, March 6, we have three TYRA robotics teams, comprised of 6th and 7th graders, traveling to Clarksville for the TCEA Warehouse Warriors competition. For most of these students, this is their first-ever robotics competition and will kick off their Warehouse Warriors competition season. Join us in wishing all of our innovators good luck this weekend!

2026 RLMS Graduate Parents -- Show your graduate just how proud you are of them by purchasing a celebratory ad! Last day to purchase an ad and save your spot is Thursday, December 18. (Photos and wording may be sent in later.)

Egg Drop 2025 was a huge success! Our 6th graders brought the creativity this year with 24 student-designed projects, each one engineered to protect an egg from a 20-foot drop onto concrete. Students worked in teams to plan, build, and test their contraptions—and for the first time ever, an entire class had every single project survive the fall! Proud of their hard work, teamwork, and problem-solving. Great job, 6th grade! Check out the slow motion of what we could capture below. https://youtube.com/@andrewlanerankin1?si=x1w9IMzGitWlIQTP
