Our Rees Kindergarteners earned their first Brag Tag for the year! They had to identify, write, and build the numbers 0-10! They have worked SO HARD and we are so proud of them!

Mrs. Jolynn Clegg left Rees today after working here for 17 years.  She did a WONDERFUL job with our take-home library. Each day, she made sure students had books to take home and read. In addition to her daily job with take-home books, she also worked daily with 1st grade students tutoring them in Heggerty, a phonemic awareness program, helping with supervision at lunch time, and coordinating the supervision schedule. We will miss her at Rees, but wish her well as she moves on. Thank YOU Mrs. Clegg!!

Some Rees had the opportunity to come to a Root Beer Float Party.  In December at our reading carnival, these students chose to use some of their carnival tickets to come to the party. It was fun to see the kids laughing, smiling, and enjoying their Root Beer Floats. Keep reading at home Eagles!

This week, Rees students had a donut party with Mr. Gappmayer. These students used some of their reading carnival tickets from December to come to this FUN party.  Students enjoyed donuts and chocolate milk while Mr. Gappmayer hung out with them.  Students will have the opportunity for another party at the end of the school year if they continue doing their reading at home.  

Some Rees students earned a pizza party by doing their reading at home.  In December at our reading carnival, these students chose to use some of their carnival tickets to have a pizza party with Mr. Gull.  Keep up the great reading Eagles!

Mr. Cragun, our administrative intern from Diamond Fork Junior High, won the annual Rees 1st Grade Polar Express hot chocolate drinking contest. He drank a LARGE cup of hot chocolate before anyone else could to claim the title of Hot Chocolate Champion. Well done Mr. Cragun! 

These students were the lucky winners of the annual Rees Gingerbread Contest.  Rees Faculty collaborates in creating their team's masterpieces.  Students vote for their favorite one and then one student name is drawn for each gingerbread house.  The lucky winners get to take the gingerbread houses home with them. Thank you Rees staff for a job well done and CONGRATULATIONS to our winning students!

Have a wonderful holiday! See you on January 4th.

Second graders had fun learning about cookies on cookie day. They even got to frost and decorate their own cookie. 

One of the highlights of second grade is when the sixth graders write and illustrated a story with a 2nd grade buddy as the main character. After a month or more of hard work, the sixth graders preset their finished stories to their second grade buddies. The second graders love being the characters in their own books. Thank you sixth grade for your amazing work!
