💕As an elementary school librarian, Mrs. Corley is one person on campus who interacts with every student in every class on a weekly — and for many, daily — basis. Her hours are spent cultivating connections with our 300 students, learning their reading levels and interests, putting the right book in their hands and creating a warm, welcoming space where they feel safe and know they belong.

College Day at Rusk Elementary is a day when everyone on campus comes together to acknowledge a broader focus on the opportunity every student has to go to a university, a junior college or a trade school.
Field day is always the perfect opportunity for Coach Hoffman to showcase the PE program and allow students to showcase their skills. RES 2nd & 3rd grade students enjoyed a cooperative day that focused on student participation and teamwork.
Friday was the famed Field Day, a day where the students and teachers of RES gather on the playground for a rowdy and festive school-wide competition. Everyone had a blast! Mrs. Blackmon’s & Mrs. Sunday’s classes were pumped to claim the trophy as the classes earning the most points. 🎉
A HUGE 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 goes out to Brandie Garner of Texas Farm Bureau. This local business generously donated the 2023 Field Day t-shirts for each student and staff member at Rusk Elementary School. Students wore their colorful shirts with great pride at Field Day and will wear them again in May for Water Day.
