NEW! Note from Ms. Trena:

Dear REMS Families, 

The spirit of the season is certainly ringing throughout the halls of REMS this week!  We've had Sparkles, the Elf on the loose throughout the school spreading cheer and a little bit of mischief! Thank you to our Crew Parents for helping our teachers facilitate their holiday celebrations.  What a smashing success!

Our students also competed in the REMS Spelling Bee.  A huge congratulations to Wyatt Allmon for winning the Spelling Bee and moving on to the DCSD Spelling Bee! 

Thank you so much for showering our staff over the last week with treats, notes of gratitude and the Red Envelope! We are so incredibly grateful to have such a benevolent community supporting our teachers and staff.  We want to wish all of our families a wonderful holiday season and Winter Break!  May the holidays bring you joy, peace, and prosperity in the New Year.  

We will see on January 4, 2022. 

The 2021 REMS Spelling Bee participants.
