The RES Student Council administered a 2012 "Mock Election" for the RES Campus "Texas STARR Students" in grades 3-5. This mock election (under the instructional supervision of the Student Council Sponsors: Ms. Gloria Norman, Ms. Shirley Archie, & Ms. Jeanine Davis), presented a learning opportunity for our students. The Mock Election covered the political process of our Presidential Election Year. Each student filled out a mock Voter Registration Application, completed with parental assistance; and, received a mock Voter Registration Card. Each grade was given a verbal overview of the voting process, and was given a sample "mock" Ballot to review. On the Day of Election, the students were required to be a registered voter, and have proper I.D. (Student I.D. Badges) in order to participate in the general election. Members of the Student Council wore American Flag hats, and served as Polling Officials. Principal Robin Beaty approved and supported this event as RES is daily "Setting The Stage for Learning"! This mock election was a reality of our campus theme. (Click title for additional photos.)

Principal Robin Beaty is excited to announce that the RES Campus has registered for the State of Texas Success Initiative Programs that will afford our star students an opportunity to enhance their classroom objectives. These are state-funded programs that are excellent free-onlines resources available on our campus and are also available for use from home. We encourage taking advantage of the resources from home. Students will be receiving personal log-in information from their home room instructors. In the meantime, parents may obtain additional information about the programs from the state web cite @ www.texassuccess.org.
The RES 4th Grade Classes sponsored the campus Hispanic Heritage Program. We celebrated in a special program focused from our reading initiatives. The 4th Grade Students presented "The Smelly Feet", a stage play featuring three scenes: "In the Forest", "In the Home of Lion and Bear" and "Later in the Day". Eight characters: The Bear, Lioness, Wolf, Giraffe, Zebra, Goat, Fox and Elephant exhibited reading skills as they presented the Bear with his "smelly feet"! It was great educational entertainment for all. The special guest performers were members of the Royal High School Cross Country Team. They are stars of Coach Rocha, who performed a stage jazz dance to the tunes of Hispanic Heritage music. Musical Renditions: "Los Ninos en Espana Cantan", "Viva Jujuy", and "Guantanamero - Jose Fernandez Dias" were performed by the Royal 2012-13 Honor Choir during the program. The Honor Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Marquis, RES Music Instructor. Ms. Marquis and the Choir styled their new choir T-shirts, and they look great! RES is "Setting the Stage for Learning"!
