The academic UIL teams represented Rusk Elementary School with pride today!





We are excited that our RES students will have the opportunity to participate in their first Academic UIL competition today in Hudson.



Rusk Elementary School is celebrating a century of reading by rounding up some of the best children’s books from every decade of the last 100 years. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 100th Day of School and World Read Aloud Day!
Whether these glorious stories launched a once-unknown author into the spotlight or created time-honored series and characters we’ll never forget, these memorable classics (of old and new) hold a special place in the hearts of children and adults alike.
On Wednesday, we’ll have a day-long book give away and create a campus-wide timeline of our favorite published Children’s books, using student’s book jacket projects.

Without our nation’s veterans, America wouldn't be the great nation it is today. Our youth deserve to learn about our rich history, traditions and the role of our veterans in creating and shaping America.
Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars selects elementary, middle, and high school teachers to participate in the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher program. Mrs. Peters was chosen as the Teacher of Year for District 19, as well as the the Teacher of Year for the state of Texas. Rusk Elementary School is incredibly proud of her for representing our campus so well and being a fabulous servant to our community.

The 3rd Grade UIL Ready Writing students posed for a group photo before entering the competition room to show off their creative writing skills.
All in all, I couldn't be prouder of the way these students dedicated time to practice each week. I’m confident that their personalities and creativity shined today through their writing! 🌟


“The Kindness Crew” treated teachers and staff to a snack and drink this week to help lift their spirits and put smiles on their faces.





Regular attendance is imperative to ensure success at school. 2nd and 3rd grade students who had perfect attendance for the first semester were placed in a drawing to win a hover board. The first semester recipient was Ryder!! 🎉 He was speechless!
{Perfect attendance is defined as zero absences, zero tardies, and in attendance all day long. A student must be in attendance at school from 8:00 until 3:20 to earn a perfect attendance award.
At RES perfect attendance awards are given at the end of each quarter and at the end of the year. Additionally we celebrate classroom perfect attendance throughout the year.}


Last week, Third graders learned about Brenham's Creamery and the business of manufacturing ice cream. Students were able to take a recipe, measure ingredients, and create their very own ice cream samples. They also got to showcase their creative side by designing their own ice cream shop. Making connections doesn't get any sweeter!!





Mr. K’s class had a colorful time as they tie-dyed socks with Mrs. Cahalane to celebrate winning the top 3rd grade class for the 1st quarter with highest attendance percentage. 🎉
