College T-Shirt Mondays at RES! 🎓 Don’t forget—Mondays at RES are all about dreaming big! 🎉 Students and staff are encouraged to wear their favorite college t-shirts each Monday to spark conversations about future goals and possibilities.

Rusk elementary school field day is a long favored tradition. This year the torch was passed to Coach Ian, and him and his team did an outstanding job. The kids were all smiles and so many memories were made.

Daylight Saving Time Begins tomorrow, March 8th! It's time to SPRING FORWARD! 🐝🌸🪻

It’s HATCH Week at RES! 🐣✨ Our classroom chicks are officially hatching, and the excitement in the room is absolutely contagious! From quiet anticipation to joyful squeals, our students are getting a real-time lesson in life cycles, patience, and the miracle of new beginnings. There’s nothing like watching learning come to life right before their eyes. Experiences like this are what make elementary school magic. {Thank you to Farm Bureau for the donated incubators provided to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension-Cherokee County office for our use, Muddy Boots Farm egg donation secured by RES, and additional eggs donated by Brandee Wofford with Mud Creek Mercantile and Alaina Brooks with Little Brooks Farms secured by the AgriLife Extension.}

Due to adjustments in our testing schedule, RES will conduct Mock Testing on Wednesday, March 4th. Please note that RES will have a closed campus on this day and will not allow outside lunch guests to ensure a focused and secure testing environment for our students. I apologize for the oversight in not including this date on the digital flyer previously shared on social media. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we prioritize our students’ success.

Did you know that March is Youth Art Month? This month we will be sharing ways that art education helps our students grow as learners and supports their core academic areas.

For example, participating in art helps students creatively solve problems. When they make a mistake in our art class they are encouraged to figure out a way to turn their error into something else rather than toss the whole paper.

Stay tuned for more ways art helps our students! Happy Youth Art Month!

Happy Educational Diagnosticians Week to Mrs. Tubbe! ❤️

Old school magazines looking for real world 🌎 shapes.

Our librarian is truly a jewel in our crown. She puts intentional thought and heart into every lesson she teaches during library time. In January, she read One Word and guided students in choosing a meaningful word to carry with them throughout the year. They even created bracelets with their chosen word, a beautiful reminder of their goals and character. In February, she read High Five and followed it with an engaging, hands-on activity that had students collaborating, encouraging one another, and celebrating teamwork. We are so grateful for the creativity, purpose, and passion she brings to our campus each week. She doesn’t just teach library skills she builds character, confidence, and connection. 📖

High Five for 105! ✋ Friday was full of smiles, school spirit, and proudly representing our house colors. This is what joy in learning looks like as we high-fived our way though the day! ❤️💙💛💚

Officer Cymes started the week off right by visiting Ms. Brogdon’s class bright and early Monday morning bringing breakfast and smiles to kick off the day!

High ✋ for 105! We kicked off our day celebrating 105 schoolwide by high-fiving our students and recognizing the incredible contributions they bring to RES each and every day. Every student adds something special, a talent, a smile, a kind word, a strong work ethic, that makes our campus shine a little brighter. Together, we make RES extraordinary! ✨

Tomorrow is the day!!!! 🎉High-Five for 105! To kick off the 105th Day celebration, students will be welcomed with high-fives as they enter school, helping us build community, connection, and House pride from the very start of the day. During Shine Time Spirit Line, students will participate in House High-Fives, celebrating leadership, courage, grit, and kindness…the traits that make our Houses, and our school, strong. We'll be high fiving our way through the day!
