Such a wonderful experience for our 4th graders today visiting the Flynn Theater for "Trekking Mexico". This performance explored Mexican culture and tradition through music and dance. What a great way to bring understanding of our southern
neighbor 's culture and rich history. Shout out to the Flynn for bringing this amazing programming to area youth.










Dear Parents and Guardians,
Each year, we are required to ask families to complete a survey that helps us better understand your perspectives on family engagement, our school community, and academics.
We kindly ask that you take a few moments to complete this important survey. Please note that this is not the same survey that was recently sent out.
Thank you for your time and support.

Enjoy the break!


What a wonderful way to wrap up our week and head into a break with our April "Family Friday-Art Exploration". PreK/K families enjoyed a read aloud "Sky Colors" by Peter H Reynolds and then worked with RES Art Teacher Meghan Hernandez to create watercolor illustrations reflective of the book illustrations. Excited to have so many family members join us ..we had 26 this month & we were able to combine a Kindergarten class with a PreK class- another opportunity to connect and build community.
A few family comments from this opportunity:
"This was my first time attending family Friday! What a great time! Thank you for providing this for our families"
"I think this was a great family Friday! Loved the approach and the atmosphere!"
"It was wonderful to see how happy and comfortable all the kids were in their class. A welcoming environment and great activity."
Thank you all for coming and have a wonderful break!











Hanging basket orders and money are due back tomorrow. Thank you for your support
