Spooks of every variety haunted the hallways and gym of Rees Elementary on thursday, October 31st.  Parents came to watch...or was it to protect their little dears from the scary creatures?  Look at the pictures from the parade and see what you think.

On Wednesday, May 8th, Kindergartners gave strict instructions to the weatherman to hold off all rain at the appropriate times.  The weather cooperated and Mothers of Rees Kindergartners enjoyed a picnic with their little darlings.  The Kindergartners surprised their moms with books they had written about their mothers.  These books were full of interesting information about their beloved mothers.  From the looks of the faces on the Mothers in these pictures, a good time was had by all! 

Many things were accomplished because of the annual Rees Elementary Jump-a-thon.  First of all, through the efforts of great leaders, students, and parents, $4,326.49 was raised for people with heart problems.  Second, heart problems were prevented through children participating in fun aerobic activities as they learned the joys of an active lifestyle. 

The Upper Grades held their recognition assembly for the April Students of the Month.  Here are the names of those who were recognized for outstanding achievement in various areas.  Children are shown from back to front, and left to right in each grade level picture.

Fourth Grade:  Logan Keller (not shown), Brooklyn Hawkins, Carter Montrose, Natasha Gipe, Gavin Schriever, Kynli Anderson, and Brynn Whitney.

Rees Elementary has heart!  For many years our school has participated in the American Heart Association's  Jump Rope for Heart fund raiser.  We do not want the tradition to stop and would like more participation than ever!
