RES Weekly Buzz
Welcome to the new year! We were excited to welcome our students back to school on the cold Tuesday morning. Smiles, laughter, and stories to warm our hearts filled our first day back. As many of us set goals for the 2024 year, our students are setting their own goals, ranging from academics to the arts and the sports fields and courts. It is endearing to see them form a personal goal for themselves and discuss how they can meet it. As a school community, we aim for everyone to be their best selves daily. We are fortunate to be a part of a school that encourages that in all parts of their day, and we have no doubt the kids will continue to put their best foot forward and thrive in many ways. We are excited to be a part of their journey this year.
Have a wonderful weekend, and stay warm!
