Second grade students gathered outside to celebrate their outstanding behavior for Term 3.  Activities students could participate in were sidewalk chalk, jump roping, hula-hooping, play on the playground or activities with the giant parachute.  Mr. Pitcher even joined in on the fun because of all the excitement the kids were showing.  Thanks for being awesome students.  Second grade is the best!

Tracy Wiley has been a valued parent and staff member at Rees for about 10 years.  She has kept everyone well fed with her culinary talents as she has organized and cooked for faculty luncheons.  Everyone looks forward to Tracy’s main course and especially the desserts.  Her amazing food has helped create a feeling of comradery among teachers at Rees Elementary.

Ni hao (pronounced ‘nee how’) Rees Elementary! 

We had some special visitors come to our school on Tuesday all the way from China!  The acrobats have been performing across the country and made a special stop just for us.  They had some incredible talent to share.  We loved it!  Such amazing talent!  The acrobats had to be dedicated and work hard work to get as good as they have.  Mr. Pitcher reminded us that in order for us to be good at something, we need to work hard as well.

Where is the sunshine?!  The first grade and Mrs. Keisel’s 2nd Grade class took advantage of the warmer weather a few weeks ago and spent the last 30 minutes of the day out in the sunshine for Fun Friday.  Here’s to hoping it comes out for Spring Break!  

March 14-17 was National Breakfast Week at Rees.  Our awesome lunch ladies had some fun activities going on for students.  Prizes were won and the guessing game of “How Many Cheerios Are in the Jar?” was played.  Thursday, which happened to be St. Patrick’s Day as well, was pajama day to remind students to “Wake up to breakfast!”
