It’s Staff Appreciation Week at RES!

A huge shoutout to our incredible staff as your impact is felt in every corner of our school, every single day. It truly takes all of us to support our students: from academics to social-emotional learning, from offering a listening ear to helping with problem-solving, from supervising play, bandaging scraped knees, and guiding respectful choices. You show up with heart, patience, and dedication, and it does not go unnoticed.

Thank you to the team who decorated the staff lounge and organized the week to Jason’s Greenhouse for the beautiful flowers for each staff member, and to Simply Organic for providing lunch.

And to our amazing families as we thank you for sharing your children with us and for your continued support and partnership. We are so grateful to be part of this community together. 🧡🤍🖤

Our students used lots of creativity, colorful decorations and clever ideas to try and catch the mischievous leprechaun. Unfortunately, no one was able to catch the leprechaun this year.
