Thank you REES PTA for making us feel appreciated this week! Ya’ll are the BEST! 
Our own Kannan competed in the Little Feet Meet and won 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in his events! Way to go Kannan!
Congrats to all of our science fair participants! Mrs. Ramsey and I are so proud of your hard work. Nicholas and Miller came away with an honorable mention award. Way to go boys!
Today in social studies, students built a model of a southern city and drew up a plan describing the location of different buildings in the city. Shortly after building their city, students came around and destroyed their creations. Ask your child how it felt for their hard work to be ruined. Tomorrow, we will be learning how this relates to Reconstruction after the Civil War.
We are so happy to welcome Mrs. Ramsey’s daughter, Miss Mary Brooke. She is doing an internship with Deep Run High School called Teachers For Tomorrow. She will be around on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to help out in the classroom and gain valuable teaching experience for the future.
On February 14th, we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a valentines exchange. If you choose to participate, you only need to provide valentines for your child’s homeroom class. Both rooms have 23 students (and one teacher ). Of course, it’s totally acceptable to have valentines for both classes or additional staff members. We cannot provide a list of students for you, but have your child fill in who they know and send empty extras for the ones they don’t. Also, feel free to send in a box/bag for your child to collect their valentines. As always, thanks for all you do! We LOVE our families!
