From hearing directly from our Early College students and teachers, to learning about our expanding Career & Technical Education programs in Culinary Arts/Hospitality and Criminal Justice/Public Safety, and touring elementary classrooms filled with engaging, joyful learning experiences, the visit highlighted the powerful work happening across our district to prepare every learner for success.
Thank you to our local elected officials, students, staff, and community members who helped showcase what makes #WeAreDR so special. 🚀

What an exciting day at Palmer River Elementary School! Today, award-winning author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds visited our students and shared an engaging presentation about his journey to becoming a writer and illustrator. Students were inspired by his creativity, perseverance, and love of storytelling, and we are so grateful he helped us kick off our summer reading program in such a meaningful way.
A huge thank you to our amazing Rehoboth PTSA for making this special visit possible! As an added surprise, the PTSA also selected and purchased almost seven hundred books so that every PRES student will receive a brand-new book by Peter H. Reynolds to launch their summer reading adventures.
It was truly a memorable day filled with inspiration, imagination, and joy for reading!

Students thrive when they can learn in different environments and through different modalities. Whether they’re creating in art, moving in PE, coding in computer class, reading about faraway places in library, or exploring new ideas in STEAM, each setting supports unique ways of thinking and understanding. Related arts classes not only spark creativity and curiosity, but they also help students build confidence, collaboration skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

Every day, kids head outside and just get to be kids. They run around, make up games, solve little playground problems, and laugh with friends. When they come back inside, they’re happier, more focused, and ready to learn. The American Academy of Pediatrics even calls recess a crucial part of child development, and research continues to show it has only positive benefits, from improving focus and memory to reducing disruptive behavior, strengthening social skills, and helping kids stay active and healthy. Fresh air, sunshine, and a little freedom go a long way.
Daily recess means happier kids, better learning, and a whole lot more joy. See for yourself!
