Green Ribbon Week!!!

This week is Green Ribbon Week. We have been SO grateful to Keri Marziale, Heather Hunt, Stephanie Duvall, Cami Moos, Nancy Lee and anyone else who has volunteered to make this week awesome!!! We have had a poster contest, fabulously decorated halls, and LOTS of fun!!!
Monday: Walk to School, Don't be Lazy. Make sure that your hair looks CRAZY!
Students were encouraged to walk to school. Local community heroes were at the crosswalks to give safety tips to the students as they passed. The students were treated to a breakfast of granola bars, apples and water when they reached the school. Our Student Council was on hand early in the morning to pass out water bottles to each kid and parent who walked to school. Each class voted on one person with the craziest hair, and they were sent to the office for a little treat.
Tuesday: Picture yourself safe. Dress your best.
Today was picture day at Rees. The students dressed in their best dress for the photos. Each student was given a green wristband with the theme R.E.E.S. safe kids. (R.E.E.S. stands for Rees Eagles Excel in Safety)
Wednesday: Be Careful when your Feet hit the Street.
Wearing mismatched socks and shoes will help remind the kids to be safe each time they walk to school. PTA members will be handing out suckers to those wearing mismatched socks and shoes.
Thursday: If you're safe and you know it, wear your green.
Thursday will be the final day of our Safety Week. We will be wearing as much green as possible. We will have an assembly with Jace Brinkerhoff and we will announce the winning class for penny wars. We will also announce when they will get to dunk Mr. Larsen and other teachers who are daring enough to take the plunge!!!
