Red Ribbon Week and More!

Students enjoyed the fun activities surrounding Red Ribbon Week.  From wearing hats, silly socks, and Halloween gear to the final extravaganza - a visit from Toro, the Texan Mascot.  Our campus has displayed the Red Ribbons to support the "Say No to Drugs" program.   The Spirit Rally started with the choir singing - and then......the guest appearance of Toro.

The week has been filled with Teacher Training and Planning too!  The teachers at RCE are always learning and implementing something that will make a difference for their students' learning.  Spring Branch has provided wonderful in-services for our staff.  Several teachers were able to hear from John O'Flahavan at Frostwood.  Great ways to learn!

Tuesday night, parents and community members were able to hear from Dr. Collier.  Her presentation is great!  Here's the link to her presentation for those who were unable to attend.  Her topic of "The Science of High Risk Behavior" is something that we should continue to discuss in the Rummel Creek community.

Friday morning was the Book Character Parade.  The costumes this year were fabulous!  It's always fun to see the students dress up as a favorite character!  Short Video from this morning.



Fourth Grade Student Council finished their Food Drive for the East Spring Branch Food Pantry in honor of our Sister School Sherwood.  The Food Drive was a huge success.  Friday, just after noon, the students were able to load the truck for the food pantry.  Thank you to Jill Hughes, RCE Library Volunteer and former teacher, for putting the connections together.  It is so wonderful to see the students take such an active role in helping others.  Thank you for supporting the Fourth Grade Student Council Food Drive.

Socktober is almost over.  Jacob Baker has done a tremendous job in getting the sock drive organized and advertised.  Some of the socks will go towards Fifth Grade Student Council's project others will be distributed to homeless shelters in Houston.  Thank you so much for supporting Jacob's idea.

We had Watch Dogs every day this week.  The classrooms LOVE having the Dads visit each day.

It was training week for the new crew for KRCE.  Lots of learning going on from the old crew to the new crew!  The October Crew gave a sad farewell with the "hats off" good bye!  Watch DOGS and Teacher of the Week joined in on Friday as well!

Mrs. Bacon's second grade class received the Spirit Stick!  Congratulations to Mrs. Bacon's class.  The competition is getting tighter and tighter every week!

Next week is the Fall Festival!  WOW....it's November already!  Fifth Grade Tech Team began creating our advertisement for Fall Festival - Raffle Items Slideshow and then Telligami's to tell about the Friday event!  Thanks Fifth Grade November/December Crew!
