🦅 🦅 SOARING INTO FUN: Dojo Day Success! 🦅
Our students at RDES had an absolute blast celebrating ClassDojo success with an epic Dojo Day, sponsored by our amazing PTO! 🎉
During their Specials rotation, our Eagles got to burn off some energy, bounce, and race through a variety of awesome inflatables. But the fun didn't stop there! Mother Nature threw us a little curveball, which actually worked out in our favor—we scored an extra day of bonus fun! 🌦️✨
For round two, our students tackled a whole new lineup of games, including an ultra-competitive, high-energy inflatable Gaga Pit!

A few of our students at RDES recently put their teamwork to the test, collaborating to build an incredible marble run. This project wasn't just about fun; it was a hands-on lesson in being Critical Thinkers and Communicators as they designed twists, turns, and loops together.
We also want to share a special "thank you" to a former Eagle who donated the marble run to our school. Your generosity is a beautiful example of Connected Citizenship, making our school a better place for the next generation.
At RDES, we believe that we are a family. Whether it's through a shared project or a kind donation, we are always lifting each other up to achieve Excellence for All.
Way to go, Eagles! 🦅💙
