Elementary and Middle school put on a "Country" Show
On April 30th, the middle school students entertained parents and friends with a country music concert! They sang and danced to songs by Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and more.  The Show Choir performed "Worthy of Praise."  There were many duet and solo acts, as well as dance performances.

 

On May 7th, the elementary school students performed a different "country" concert.  Their's was a concert filled with patriotic songs and narrations that took us back to a different time in our country's history: WWII to the 1950's.  The children sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic, Splish Splash, and a fun 50's medley that left the crowd smiling!

Lights! Camera! Action!

The REL stage resembled the red carpet of Hollywood as the Mr. and Miss Robert E. Lee Academy contestants took the stage last week. Congratulations to Mr. Josh Gough, Mr. Robert E.

During the month of October, Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Eva's kindergarteners used pumpkins to study estimation, weighing and measuring.  They wrote and illustrated "Pumpkin Books" to record their estimations and the actual weights and measurements of their pumpkins.  After working with the pumpkins all week, the students painted their pumpkins to celebrate Halloween!  Also, the students carved a jack-o'-lantern.  They learned about different products made from pumpkin and sampled toasted pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie!  They used the jack-o'-lantern to listen to spooky stories!  Later, they  ended the Halloween season with a wiener/ marshmallow roast, apple bobbing and games.  The school party was a huge success with plenty of good food, face painting and games!
