Our 6th
grade Mustangs traveled to Calvin Crest’s Outdoor Education Science Camp last
week May 23—27. The students went on
many different hikes, some even hiked through rain and hail. Though there was inclement weather, the
students all had a great time and learned valuable team building lessons that
can be used in and out of the classroom.
This is an experience that some will never forget. We would like to thank our teachers for
taking time away from their families to stay with our students as well as our
counselors (parent/student chaperones) for taking time away from work and their
families to assist us. This could not be
possible without all of your help. A special thank you is also in order for our
Governing Board for their continued support of our Science Camp program.
Gold
Ribbon School
Reagan has been recognized as a
Gold Ribbon School and earned a Title 1 Academic Achievement Award for all the
hard work that our staff and students have accomplished. This is a great honor that we and some of our
other Kingsburg elementary schools earned.
We were presented with our award by the State Superintendent of Schools,
Tom Torlakson, in a reception at the new Tulare County Office of Education
building.
Sports Around Reagan
Softball
The Reagan softball teams competed in the SEAL
(Selma Elementary Athletic League) tournament on Friday, May 27. Both teams played extremely hard and both came home with
trophies (girls, second place and our boys, fourth place). It was a
great season and we are proud that our students were able to demonstrate great
teamwork and sportsmanship throughout.
When we
return from summer vacation, please look for information for our fall sports,
volleyball and flag football.
Music News
Band
The band
students, under the direction of Mr. Awbrey and Mrs. Sigle, put on a great show
on May 12 and 13. The progress that the
students showed and the joy that they demonstrated in playing their instruments
in front of their peers and parents was great.
The students who played a special song, not in the regular playlist,
all played great.
Choir
The choir students all sang beautifully in their concerts on May 19 and
20. Mr. Merritt has been doing a great
job with our students and the students are having fun, as evident from their
last song in their performance.
History Day Results
On Friday,
May 6, Cy Hammerstrom and William Bishop competed in the State History Day
competition for their 2D board on Albert Einstein. The students did a great job and earned a
runner-up placing out of the 124 other finalists in their category. We would like to thank Mrs.
Zapata and Mrs. Bishop for all their hard work in ensuring that our students
were ready and having fun. Great job to
all of our Reagan students who participated this school year in History
Day.
As our 2015-2016 school year comes to a close, we
would like to thank all of our parents/guardians, grandparents, Reagan PTA,
friends, and families for their continued support of what our students are
accomplishing. Due to your fundraising
efforts, the entrance and transportation fees for our students for our 3rd
trimester PR reward activities were all taken care of.
We would also like to thank our students for all their
hard work this school year. We just
finished our state testing last week and I am confident that our students did
very well. Our Reagan students are
resilient and have demonstrated HONOR all school year. We hope that you have a great summer!
Thank You!!!
