• Mrs. Bruce is looking for volunteers, with building experience, who would be willing to help build sets for this year's 3/4 musical, James and the Giant Peach. We are also looking for donations of materials (lumber, hardware, paint, etc) to help build the set. Please contact her if interested at cbruce@rnesu.org. Thank you!

In Art the kindergarteners have been focusing on drawing houses. Last month we had a lot of fun creating tissue ghosts.

First and second graders have been studying landscapes and created their own.

Third and fourth graders are starting to work on their cityscapes. They are using simple lines and shapes to create detailed pieces.

Fifth and sixth graders just finished up working on their oil pastel landscapes. They worked very hard planning out their pieces. They started with a sketch to plan it out before moving onto their final piece. They also created their own pokemon cards.

1st through 6th grade classes are learning about digital citizenship for the months of October & November. Digital Citizenship is learning to be safe, responsible and respectful online. Our district uses curriculum from Common Sense Media and I focus on the importance of media balance, online privacy, leaving digital footprints, communication and cyberbullying. I highly recommend these online resources for families from Common Sense Media to help equip you as you navigate the digital world with your children. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at ctate@rnesu.org - Mrs. Tate
