🥜 Mrs. Boggs' Class Had Toast and Jelly Beans for Thanksgiving! 🤯
No, really! Mrs. Boggs' awesome first-grade class had a blast recreating the iconic Charlie Brown Thanksgiving meal last week!
They happily munched on: Jelly Beans, Pretzels, Popcorn, Buttered Toast, and a little extra treat of Pumpkin Pie! It was a fun lesson on friendship and keeping traditions alive (even the non-traditional ones!).
Check out their happy little feasting group!

We absolutely love seeing our RDES staff connecting, learning new skills, and having a blast together after school!
Last week, teachers became students (and teachers again!) as they enjoyed their new staff knitting and crochet club. It's truly inspiring to see the support and camaraderie as they teach each other the relaxing art of fiber crafts. A huge shoutout to our talented staff members for sharing their passion!
Moments like these are what make the RDES and JCS family so special. Investing in our people is our priority!

Our 3rd graders brought the magic of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade right here to RDES! 🎈🦃
The creativity was truly on display as students embraced the challenge of designing and building their own spectacular floats. This hands-on project is helping our young minds become high-level thinkers, communicators, and learners for life.
