Spring has sprung at REMS!  Six of our twelve in-house chicks have hatched and are thriving! Many thanks to Ms. Ashley C and Ms. Kristen for supporting the successful launch our of baby chicks.  We also have had our students visit our temporary Star Lab exhibit in the library, where Ms. Erin has taken them on a tour of the constellations, underwater voyages, and time-lapsed city scapes.  Our crews have been awed and inspired by Science this week.  I have absolutely loved curiosity and wonder abuzz in our classrooms this week!

Congratulations to our very own Oliver G. who won a state-wide Arbor Day poster contest! Click here to watch a video about the contest, Oliver, and how Arbor Day promotes stewardship of our environment.
