🎸 RES Rocked the STAAR! 🎉
The RES Rock the STAAR Pep Rally held last week was full of surprises and unforgettable moments!
Our 3rd grade teachers kicked things off with an awesome rock performance, the Rotation teachers brought the laughs with a fun skit, and our amazing PTO helped us pull off the ultimate surprise… a Dad Minion Dance!
When the dads came out for their performance, the students were completely shocked after the big reveal. The gym was full of excitement and smiles everywhere!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this pep rally one to remember. Our students were ready to ROCK the Reading STAAR and will soon rock the Math Test!
