Rees Elementary 6th graders wrote and illustrated a book for each of the 2nd graders. The 2nd graders were the main characters in their own stories and they absolutely loved their books! Thank you 6th graders for sharing your talents with us!!

The students are excited and ready to learn the all about the art of drumming. A big thanks to Mr. Ballard for being willing to come and teach Rees students how to drum.
Third graders worked on building the tallest "Christmas Tree" for Fun Friday last week! Their building materials consisted of gumdrops, toothpicks, and three large marshmallows. It was a tricky challenge, but two teams tied for the tallest freestanding structure at 9 inches each. The winning teams were with Brikelle, Pressley, Danna, Esteban, CJ, Callen, Lizzy, Betzy, Kaden, and Jack. Nice work!
The Rees Elementary annual gingerbread house winners were picked today during a school assembly. All students were given a ticket earlier this week and put their ticket in a drawing for their favorite gingerbread house. The winners take their prize home to enjoy during the holidays! Congratulations students! Thank you Rees staff for such fantastic houses this year!
Students were suprised today when Santa came to Rees at the end of our dress rehearsal today. Santa sang a song with the students and left a treat for them in their clasrooms. Thank you Santa for coming to Rees Elementary!!
