Rees Star News

As we approach the end of another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the growth, learning, and memorable moments we have shared.

This year has been full of accomplishments-academic progress, personal milestones, and so many joyful experiences in and out of the classroom. Your partnership, support, and encouragement have been instrumental in making this year a success for our students.

Whether it was cheering from the sidelines, helping with homework, attending conferences, or simply offering a kind word, your involvement has made a meaningful difference. Thank you for being an essential part of our school community.

As we head into summer, I encourage you to keep your child's love of learning alive--read together, explore the outdoors, and enjoy quality time as a family.

On behalf of the entire staff, thank you for a fantastic year! We wish you a safe, restful, and joyful summer!

Your Principal,

Mireya Lara
