Friday was the culminating act for the raising of funds for the American Heart Association.  The children and teachers worked hard to meet the goal of raising more money than we did last year.

We made it and now Mr. Pitcher will be sporting a very stylish duck suit for an assembly.  What a good sport!

Pictured are the winners of the Jump-off for each grade level.  An uncooperative phone camera will hopefully produce the rest of the grade level winners and the winners of the "Most Money Raised" of the Jump-a-thon.  Watch for updates on this article.

In the fall of 2014, Rees Kindergartners visited jolley's Ranch up Hobble Creek Canyon to study nature in the Fall.  Being junior scientists, these same Kindergartners returned to the ranch to observe the differences that Spring brings to nature.  They found green grass, bugs, worms, birds, spiders, sticks, green leaves, and lots of fun!  Lots of cute pictures were taken, but only these few would load because the website says the files were too large to upload.  It's all that beautiful green grass and bright beautiful children taking too many pixels of color.

Who has been working extra hard and doing what they should?

These students from the first grade!

Here is a picture of those who were present to receive either boots or rodeo tickets.  They were randomly chosen from the many, many tickets that were turn in representing a lot of good reading time put in for the month of March.

The PTA challenged the studentbody to raise money for the school by promising to have Mr. Pitcher kiss a pig if the goal was reached.  Not only was the goal reached, but it was exceeded!  Maybe that is why Mr. Pitcher got to kiss two pigs.  Way to go students and parents, and way to be a good sport, Mr. Pitcher.  We thank our PTA officers for doing so much for us and for not making Mr. Pitcher do anything they would not do themselves!
