🎉🌟Something Extra Special to Celebrate! 🌟🎉

We are thrilled to announce an incredible achievement for our school community. Two of our very own RES teachers have been honored with the New Jersey Department of Education's Exemplary Educator Award🏆🍎

It appears this prestigious award is earned by less than 1% of the PreK - 5 teacher population in New Jersey and recognizes educators who:
✨ Exhibit strong knowledge and skills,
✨ Have an inspiring presence, and
✨ Make a positive impact on students, colleagues, and the entire school community.

Having TWO teachers from RES receive this honor is a testament to the dedication, talent, and heart they bring to their classrooms daily. HUGE Congratulations to 

❤️Mrs. Gilardi🏆

❤️Mrs. Young🏆

Please join us in celebrating this outstanding achievement! 🙌👏

Lesson
 of the Week Winner for 3/10/2025 - 3/14/2025
Congratulations Mrs. Lindenman!!!
Lindemen LOTW

Lesson of the Week Spotlight: Mrs. Lindenman’s Outdoor Math Adventure!

We are thrilled to celebrate Mrs. Lindenman for earning Lesson of the Week with her bold, outside-the-box approach to teaching! She transformed a simple math lesson into an exciting outdoor adventure, turning the great outdoors into her classroom and bringing numbers to life in a way her kindergarteners will never forget.

Rather than sticking to the four walls of a classroom, Mrs. Lindenman took learning outside, using the fresh air and natural surroundings to make math interactive, engaging, and authentic. Through hands-on exploration, her students discovered addition and subtraction in action, using objects in nature to reinforce key concepts. The result? A lesson that wasn’t just educational—it was an experience!

Her creativity and enthusiasm didn’t just make learning fun; it ignited curiosity, encouraged critical thinking, and showed her students that education has no limits. By embracing an unconventional setting, she proved that learning can happen anywhere.

Bravo, Mrs. Lindenman, for inspiring young minds and making learning an adventure
