NEWS FROM THE NEST

We encourage all students and families to read more during the month of April as part of Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Rodeo Reading Challenge. Rees Elementary Eagles are the defending champions among the Spanish Fork schools and we want to keep that going. Our challenge is for students to read over 30 minutes each day at home and record your minutes on the blue calendar.

Be sure to order your Yearbook for this school year! You can purchase them for $10 in the office with any payment type. You can also purchase them on Infinite Campus under FEES.

There will be a PTA Meeting on Wednesday, April 9th at 10:00 in the Teacher's Lounge. Come on out and support our students and school! Click Here for the Rees PTA website.

Our School Community Council will meet on Thursday, April 11th at 11:45 in the Conference Room. For more information about SCC and how they support our school click here.

In April, we are going to focus on being life-long learners. "From a very young age, we express curiosity as we explore our world and build meaning for how things work. That curiosity does not go away as we get older. The joy of exploration (curiosity) is what makes children want to learn, according to Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD, at Psychology Today. Curious students will read, ask questions, seek out information, and more. They retain information better because they are genuinely interested, which helps them succeed in school. Not only does curiosity benefit students academically, but holistically as well." (In Focus)
