Rusk Elementary School

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. 📖

💌 Valentine’s Day Reminder 💌

Students worked collaboratively in their math learning area, enthusiastically tackling a challenging problem together. It was incredible to see them sharing strategies, using academic math vocabulary, and encouraging one another as they worked toward a solution.

There’s nothing better than watching our students soak up the sunshine while getting lost in a good book! Outdoor reading time is a great reminder that learning doesn’t just happen inside four walls. Fresh air, bright smiles, and pages turning at RES!

High five for 105!! 🙌 Our first uniquely designed hand representing the Kindness House has been turned in. 105 days of living out our House virtues!

The Valentine’s Day boxes are rolling in, and no two are the same! Kids are showing off their creativity one box at a time.

💌 Valentine’s Day Reminder 💌

High-Five for 105! Because at Rusk Elementary, we just do things a bit differently! Celebrating 100 days of school would be waaay too ordinary… so we’re thinking outside the box and celebrating 105 days of school instead!
