Veteran's Day

Reed participates in a very special event to honor veterans in our community. Every November 11th Reed puts together a student-led Veteran's Day assembly. It is a powerful morning for many reasons. First, students plan, create, and practice all of the different elements that go into the assembly. This allows Reed's students to take ownership, and to make a more personal connection to this special day. Second, students learn and witness the importance of honoring veterans. What is a veteran? What do they do for us? What would this country be like without our armed forces? These are just a few of the questions stems that spark meaningful conversations with our students. So by the time the assembly occurs Reed's students and staff are truly humbled to have them as our honored guests. Here are just a few pictures from that special day.

Halloween and Pumpkin Day

A couple of weeks ago 4H celebrated Pumpkin Day and Halloween. On Pumpkin Day students brought in a pie pumpkin and worked through lessons with the pumpkin all day long. Those lessons included these subject areas: math, writing, reading, science, and social studies. It was a great way to spend the day learning!  Halloween fell on the following day, and we had a fabulous party planned by our parents. Below are a couple of pictures taken of 4H students after Reed's famous Halloween parade.
