This week Rees 5th grade students had a visit from the Principal, Nate Whitney, as well as the school counselors, Shannon Hales, Brooke Ottesen, Eric Gappmayer, and Jill Tullis. They learned some things about middle school, classes they can select, and how much fun it will be as they transition to middle school next year. 

The following 5th grade students received a Science Achievement Award and they will be moving on to the district competition on February 9th:

Charli Knowlden, Colby Christensen, Heather Manuele, Ivy Monreal, Jonah White, Katelynn Moody, Leila Ziebarth, Makenna Cunningham, Malakai McCloud, Noah Gancinia, and Stefanie Strauss. 

Way to SOAR Eagles!!

Mrs. Heidi Groneman is the Crystal Apple Teacher of the Year for Rees Elementary!  Mrs. Groneman has worked at Rees for 6 years. She brightens the school each day with her warm smile and positive attitude.  Mrs. Groneman serves the teachers and students in so many ways that leads them and the school to success.  We are so happy to have Mrs. Groneman at Rees!  

Today we talked about the animal adaptation camouflage! The students then drew a chameleon and camouflaged them in our classroom somewhere. They were very creative! 

Recently, Rees 5th grade students had a performance from the Maple Grove Middle School Orchestra.  They had a great time and learned how fun it can be to be in the orchestra next year when they go to middle school. 

Local author and singer, Shaun Barrowes, performed for 3rd-5th grade students at Rees. It was an INCREDIBLE performance and so much fun for everyone! Thanks Shaun for sharing your talents with our Rees Eagles! 

Mrs. Luke's class had the opportunity to celebrate Lunar New Year with a Chinese dragon dance.  We learned that the dragon dance is performed during the lunar new year to chase away the bad things from the old year and to welcome in prosperous times for the new year. Thank you to Cassie and Brayden Abbatiello for providing this awesome experience for my class, it was wonderful!
