RAD performs for Mapleton

Submitted by julie.peery on

Recently we had the Rees Elementary African Drum student group come and perform for our school. They were in authentic dress and used many different percussion drums and instruments to create very impressive music. Students led most of the songs and the audience even got to participate. It was a great assembly!

Submitted by stacey.holmes on

We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of March is being a "Hard Worker".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students working hard each day.  Here are the Students of the Week for April 1.
