Hard work pays off! Today students earned their reward for 100% class perfect attendance during MAP testing week. Way to show up and shine! 🌟
❤️🤍 Candy Cane Day at RES! Bringing all the peppermint sparkle and holiday fun!
Celebrating one of our own! Congratulations to our SFA Student Teacher/RES Paraprofessional. Today the campus came together to honor her upcoming graduation and shower her with teacher gifts. What a special day for a truly deserving future educator!
Congratulations to our very own SFA Student Teacher and RES Paraprofessional! She has been an incredible asset to our team and has stepped up with confidence and heart to lead Mrs. Griffith’s class in her absence. We are so grateful for her dedication and leadership!
Whether they chose Santa’s cheer or the Grinch’s glare, our students brought the spirit!
Our PTO has organized an amazing Holiday Shop this giving season! They’ve created a wonderfully organized space where students can shop for their loved ones and this year, they added a special bonus: a student wrapping station where every gift is wrapped and tagged with care. 🎁✨
I can’t thank our PTO volunteers enough for the abundance of love and joy they bring to all of us at RES!
Hunger For Love was very appreciative of the donations of warm clothing items. Thank you for helping FCS in this service project. ❤️
Thank you to The Daily Grind for bringing joy to our day!
Thank you to all of our parents, students, families, and community members who came out to support our 2nd Annual Singo Bingo! Even with so many holiday events happening, we still had a fantastic turnout and such a fun evening together.
A very special thank-you goes to our PTO and our PTO House Leaders for organizing the event, preparing the House-themed baskets, and being such an essential and supportive part of making this night a success. We are grateful for your continued partnership and commitment to RES!
Thank you to the Cherokee County Retired Teachers Association for awarding Mr. Coach Ian, our RES PE coach’s assistant, an academic scholarship to support his pursuit of a degree in Elementary Education. I was honored to attend the recipient luncheon with him.
Mr. Ian and I are longtime classmates who grew up together in this very community, life- long friends, now colleagues and fellow educators. He is an extraordinary individual: an incredibly talented musician and entertainer, a natural motivator, and someone who connects effortlessly with kids.
This year he has taken on many new and challenging roles, and I’ve been so proud to watch him shine. His future as an educator is bright, and this scholarship is a well-deserved step toward the exceptional teacher he’s on his way to becoming.
❤️❤️An extra-special moment during the luncheon was getting to visit with Coach A, a longstanding educator and true Rusk Elementary School legend who faithfully served as the PE coach for many years and left big shoes for those that followed to fill. I was able to capture a photo of him with Mr. Ian, two generations of RES coaches in one frame. It was such a meaningful moment to witness and preserve.

Mrs. Griffith’s students are excited to welcome Ms. Trawick as their teacher while Mrs. Griffith is out on maternity leave. We’re grateful for the warm smiles, smooth transition, and continued learning! ❤️
Students ❤️ Science!
It’s moments like these that remind us what kindness truly looks like. One brother offering comfort, the other feeling safe in his presence...a quiet reminder that love speaks louder than words. ❤️
RES kicked off the week in full holiday spirit! Merry Red & Green Monday painted the school in festive colors and joyful vibes. What a bright start to the week! ❤️💚🎄
