As one of our amazing Practicum Students, Ms. Lilly spent her days on campus learning from her mentor teacher, Mrs. Jinkins and Mrs. Lee and pouring her heart into the classroom.
To commemorate this special time, Lily found the sweetest way to carry a piece of her students with her: she spent time carefully collecting each child’s tiny, precious fingerprint on the bottom ruffle of a dress, writing their names beside each one. 💗
Tonight, she’s wearing that very dress to graduation. 🎓


🌟 Rusk Elementary Teacher of the Year – Mrs. Doss! 🌟
We are incredibly proud that Mrs. Doss represented Rusk Elementary School as Teacher of the Year for our campus! This recognition is a true reflection of the heart, dedication, and excellence she brings into her classroom every single day.
Soft-spoken but mighty in impact, Mrs. Doss pours her heart into teaching, especially the craft of reading, where her passion truly shines. She nurtures a love for learning in her students, guiding them with patience, purpose, and deep care. Her classroom is a place of warmth, growth, and high expectations, and her students thrive because they know they are seen and supported.
Mrs. Doss, your commitment to RES and your students is inspiring. Thank you for being a difference-maker in our halls and hearts. You are so deserving of this honor!
Congratulations to all the campus representatives and to Mrs. Bernard, who was named RISD teacher of the year!



🎉 Celebrating Our Very Own Custodian of the Year ~ Misty Cain! 🎉
We are beyond thrilled to share that our incredible RES custodian, Misty Cain, has been named Custodian of the Year! This honor is so well deserved. Misty isn’t just someone who takes care of our building she takes care of our school family.
With a giant heart and unwavering dedication, Misty pours love into every hallway, every classroom, and every person she meets. She sees our staff and students not just as coworkers and kids, but as people she truly cares about. From the warm greetings to the genuine relationships she builds, Misty models what it means to be a part of the RES community.
Thank you, Misty, for everything you do...the seen and the unseen. You make RES shine in every way!


🎉🏆 House Champion Reveal! 🏆🎉 We’re ending the school year with a BIG celebration — congratulations to the House of Courage, our 2024 House Champions! This was our first year incorporating the House System, and WOW ... we’ve learned so much, built stronger connections, and had a blast along the way! 💙💚💛❤️ The hype continues next year! 👉 Our current 2nd graders will stay in their same House as they move to 3rd grade. 👉 Incoming 2nd graders — get ready! You’ll have your own EPIC House Reveal during the first 9 weeks of school! We’re so proud of the growth and spirit this system has brought to our school, and we can’t wait to keep it going!


🌈🎉 Color Chalk Chaos at RES! 🎉🌈
When your principal and counselor go head-to-head in a chalk war, you know it’s going to be a colorful day at Rusk Elementary!
These two know how to keep things fun, interesting, and full of energy...just one more reason why RES is the best place to learn, laugh, and grow! 🦅




🍿❤️ Poppin’ in with Gratitude! ❤️🍿
A big THANK YOU to one of our amazing PTO parents and her sweet 2nd grade son who surprised the RES staff with a popcorn treat today! 🎉
Their kind gesture was a way of saying “thank you” for a successful Family Night and we’re the ones feeling truly grateful! 🙌 This family is new to our community, but they’ve already made such a big impact in a short time. We are so thankful to have them as part of the RES family! 🦅



Our creative 3rd graders in Mrs. Boudreaux's classroom have been hard at work learning about the Regions of Texas and they brought their knowledge to life by creating their very own maps!
