Rees Elementary 4th grade is studying the cause and effect relationship between the speed of an object and the energy of that object. To further our understanding, we played a game with marbles. The goal of the game was to use the right amount of speed and energy when shooting a marble to knock an opponent's marble out of bounds while keeping your own marble from going out. This game really helped us observe changes in energy as we watched the marbles collide!

Our awesome Rees Eagles in Mrs. Hirst's class had a FANTASTIC first week! It is so great to see some returning students, as well as some new friends. A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Hirst, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Witney, Mrs. Anderson, and Ms. Reynaud who help these students do their very best every day! 

We are excited to show our school spirit this year with our new Rees T-shirts!  We have youth sizes available now in the office for $10 each.  You can pay with cash or check in the office anytime.  Show your school spirit this Friday with a new, stylish Rees T-shirt.  

Shirts for parents will be available through a pre-order in the office.  Adult shirts will be available for $15 each.  Please let the office know if you would like an adult size Rees T-shirt and we will put an order in soon. 

Our wonderful PTA teamed up with Rees teachers today to plan out the year and how they can serve Rees students through volunteer work, class activities and more.  We are so thankful to our PTA and all that you do to serve and support Rees Elementary.  If you would like to become a member of PTA, please contact any of our PTA board members HERE.

What a GREAT first week! We were all excited to be back in school this week and we are all looking forward to a FANTASTIC school year! Let's SOAR Eagles!

This week, Mrs. Nixon's third grade class talked about what it takes to have a class where we are kind, we help each other, and how we can do hard things. Instead of saying I can't, we say I can't do this YET, we ask for help and we work as a team. She gave the students a challenge to stack the cups without touching them with any part of their body. They could only use a rubber band and the yarn, and they had to work together. They all figured it out, and they were all excited and proud of accomplishing such a hard challenge

Second grade students at Rees got rid of their "Jitters" on the first day by drinking "Jitter Juice"

Welcome back Rees students! We love our EAGLES!

Our AWESOME new student council came to school ready to welcome students to school on the first day with a smile and a SMARTIE.  What a great way to start the year! Thanks Rees Student Council!
