Weekly Note from Mrs. Clement

February 13, 2023

Dear Rocket Families,

What a wonderful evening we had last Friday for our first ever dance at RES! Thank you so much for your support of our school! A huge shout-out to the RES staff for their donations of sweet treats, drinks and time to make the event a very special one for our school! We are already looking forward to May 12 for our Knights and Their Ladies Dance!

This week is an incredibly special week at Rutherfordton Elementary! First and foremost, this week is School Bus Driver Appreciation Week. We have the BEST drivers and we thank them for transporting our students both to and from school each day. Driving a school bus is no easy task! Our drivers are committed to safety first and their dedication and reliability are to be more than commended. If your child is a bus rider please consider having them make a card or write a note of thanks for their driver!

This week is KINDNESS WEEK at RES! Our morning meetings will follow this theme for the week and students are encouraged to participate in our school spirit dress-up days as we led up to Friday which is Random Acts of Kindness Day. Please see below for particulars for each day. (Our PTO still has a limited supply or RES Spirit Wear available for purchase - please see availability and contact info below.)

As always, please feel free to reach out to me anytime should you have any questions, concerns and/or suggestions. I may be reached at mclement@rcsnc.org, by way of Class Dojo or by calling the school at (828) 287-3778.

Best,

Michelle Clement

Principal

We celebrated our school counselor, Ms. Brittany Harrell, last week during National School Counseling Week. Thank you, Ms. Harrell, for all you do for our students!
