Wednesday for our 3rd snow day, RES posted some snow day learning challenges. Any student that correctly completed at least one of the 4 challenges had their name entered into a drawing. Since it was our 3rd snow day, we drew 3 names.

Congratulations to our 3 winning students:
Aria
Christian
Mariana

We had numerous students complete at least 1 challenge and it appeared that many students were enjoying the learning challenges. We are so proud of our students for learning even on a snow day. If we have another snow day students can look for the challenges in their school email and also posted here.

Have a great evening!

Once again a Virtual Learning Friday is here!

Chester used today to get all groomed and cleaned up. Thank you to Sunrise Side Grooming Salon for making him look spiffy once again!!! They are one of our top sponsors and we are extremely appreciative of them!

Here are the RES announcements for this week:

*Great job to all of the students who participated in at least one of the snow day learning challenge activities on Tuesday. It is great to see our students learning even on a snowy day off. Be looking for the next snow day challenge, if we have another snow day in our future.

*Our Friday homeroom competition is still going on. The top 3 homerooms in the building that have the highest percentage of students completing their Friday work for the month of February will get a special homeroom treat.

Here are the top 3 homerooms as of right now:
1st: Ms. Erickson
2nd: Ms. Goodman
3rd: Mrs. Albert

There is still today and next Friday included in this challenge. The percentages are so close throughout the building that every homeroom still has a chance of winning. Friday participation is required so why not complete it on time and try to get a reward for your class.

*February 16th was supposed to be our in person picture retake day. Due to the snow day this has been rescheduled for March 2nd.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!
