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

RES welcomed our very own Ms. Sara (aka S.B. Goncarova) today! She is an author, illustrator, playwright, and composer. She shared her passion for reading and the arts with all our students. and we even got to hear the first chapter of a book she is currently working on "Caruso & The Trail of Purple Slime." Her hope is to inspire them to love reading and find that spark that lives in them to create! Thank so much for sharing your talents with us all.
Ms. Sara's has a YouTube channel where she reads her stories aloud

Morning program-next year
Great job 4th graders! They began their community map project today by walking into town and interviewing businesses and taking photos. They will be creating illustrations and writing details about each location featured. This project will culminate in a map to be presented to the select board and to be displayed prominently in town. RES is excited to take this on!
Beginning Tuesday, April 1 bus #1 & bus #4 will be combined until further notice. Drop off & pickup times may differ 10-15 minutes either way. Thank you for your patience & understanding.
In case you missed the NBC5 Weather at RES and the Leader in Me segment.
