Please join us for Frito Chili Pie and Entertainment as Rusk Elementary celebrates Christmas in Texas!
Here at RES, we like to celebrate the holidays with some festive dress-up days. We try to make the theme days easy enough that the majority of our staff and students will want to participate. Holiday Spirit Days will be Monday, December 4th through Thursday, December 21st.
At RES, we are raising awareness of the importance of excellent school attendance and supporting our students to achieve their attendance target for November and December. We have put some incentives in place for the next two months to encourage students to "beat the bell" each day.
Regular school attendance is vitally important for students to remain on track with their learning and make the most of their school experience.
In recognition of Veterans Day, Rusk Elementary School created a “Wall of Honor” to pay tribute to family members of RES students and staff that served in the military. In recognition of their service to our country, students brought a photograph and a profile card to be showcased in the front foyer of our building.
3rd grade artists have been learning about Vincent van Gogh and made their own flowers inspired by his Sunflowers painting. They also worked on their art detective skills and looked at Starry Night and wrote about things they found in the painting. #artclass #res

There have been many fantastic upgrades and improvements made by our RISD Child Nutrition Department the last few years. The food is much more appealing to students and they are enjoying the many food options.
The lunchroom is a fun place for students to gather, take a break, and eat. We are super excited create an create a more inviting and warm space for students during mealtime.

FCS is sponsoring The Bucket Ministry project now until Thanksgiving break.
Two donation buckets will be on campus.
Brent Hail, a friend and missionary from Jacksonville, demonstrated a bucket and filter kit at our last FCS meeting. We poured dirty water into an ordinary bucket. A hole was punched near the bottom and a filter was plugged in. The water came out clean, and Mrs. Woodruff drank it! An entire bucket kit for a family of 8/8 people costs $27 and just the filter is even less! One filter will clean, drinking water CLEAN, over one million gallons of water before it needs to be replaced!
As students were having snack and drinking their own bottled water, they learned how clean water is precious and scarce in many places and how that affects children just like them. Students are excited to participate in this project and hope that you support them in their ministry. They will be giving the money to Mr. Hail at Thanksgiving, and he will purchase kits and filters to bless people on his mission trips.
Thank you.
