Last week Mrs. Darrington's students were learning about force, motion, and gravity in Miss Saxon's science class.  They performed various experiments to see how different forces and different weights affect the motion and direction of objects.  

Congratulations to these awesome first graders, they are our January students of the month. Keep up the great work.

Ms. Mary Joy Dekker was the recipient of the PEAK Award (Positive Energy And Kindess) last week.  This award is determined by nominations by individuals at the school or community.  She recently received the Crystal Apple Award as well.  What a week it’s been for her!  Congratulations (again!)!

Mary Joy Dekker was the recipient of the Crystal Apple Award this year at Rees.  This award is given to her as a result of being nominated by her peers.  MJ is a wonderful example of how to reach the needs of all students.  She will find something to help her students feel successful.  She loves the arts and tries to find ways to integrate them into her lessons.  We’re so happy to have you at Rees!  Congratulations!
