When reflecting on her time at RMS, Maria shared:
"I have a lot of positive memories of RMS which is great because it was my first time in school! I spent a lot of time there including summer school. I remember reading a lot in the reading corner, gardening and cleaning vegetable, and coloring pictures of princesses with my friends!"
