NEW! A Note from Ms. Trena:

Dear REMS Families, 

I wanted to take a moment in this busy season to offer my sincere gratitude to our school community.  I am so grateful that we have such a supportive community.  It has been a true pleasure to witness the level of dedicated volunteers that have shown up this season to support our teachers, run our book fair and RAD, attend Community Reading and Writing celebrations, belay training, and enjoy Thanksgiving lunch together.  THANK YOU for continuing to foster a dear sense of community and for modeling our Crew Values! 

Our collective school community would not thrive without the loyalty of our REMS staff.  I am immensely grateful for our educators and support staff. Their commitment to our students each and every single day is truly inspiring! As we move into the holiday season please take a moment to reach out to your child's teacher or a support staff member and offer some words of encouragement or recognition.  Your sentiments mean everything to our staff!

Please take this week to enjoy Thanksgiving celebrating gratitude with your loved ones.  I wish you all peace and joy in the upcoming holiday season. We Are Crew! 

With gratitude,
Ms. Trena
