Congratulations to our 3/28/25 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. As we get ready to turn the page to a new word of the month, let us recap the importance of using Cooperation at school, in our homes and in our community. It is important that when we find our talents it is important to reach out to Cooperate with others to build something bigger than we can do on our own. Anytime that we are working together with others to reach a shared goal we are using Cooperation. Keep it up RG Cardinals. It’s a GREAT day to be a RG Cardinal! #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Cooperation #oyateowichayakiyeyedo #YouHelpPeople
We are excited to honor our Reede Gray Elementary building at these two walk throughs! Please email any old memories or photos you may have for us to share! 🎞️
The RVHS DECA chapter is one of 4 Minnesota high schools to earn recognition for their work on DECA, Inc.'s Advocacy Campaign initiative. This initiative asks DECA chapters to find creative ways to advocate for DECA and Career and Technical Education (CTE) in schools.
During the month of February, CTE Month, the RVHS DECA chapter coordinated several events and advocacy activities including a letter writing campaign to their local legislators, an ice skating fundraising event at the RACC, a community service project stuffing envelopes for A Child's Place, a CTE bulletin board in the high school, and attending a meeting with the school board to advocate for DECA in our school.
At tonight's school board meeting, we honored wrestling and gymnastics state entrants and coaches. As well as our group of Impact Employees for Quarter 3. #AlwaystheCardinalWay
I am thrilled to share that out of approximately 220 agricultural education programs across Minnesota, Redwood Valley FFA has been selected as a Top 10 Recipient for the National Chapter Award! This recognition highlights the hard work and dedication of our chapter in implementing the mission and strategies of FFA.
This award reflects our commitment to improving FFA chapter operations through the National Quality Chapter Standards (NQCS) and our Program of Activities (POA) that focus on growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture.
To submit an award application, we have to plan and facilitate at least 15 events over the course of the year. Some events to highlight from this past year include; the Medicine Wheel Garden, Advocacy Rummage Sale, Alumni & Supporters Meal, and teaching Farm Safety to area schools.
We will find out our official placing at the State FFA Convention, April 28-29th. Our application will also move onto Nationals later this spring. This award would not be possible without our FFA Officer Team! They are the ones who put the time and effort into making sure these events happen and writing the lengthy application.
Please congratulate the following students, and our advisors Mrs. Orren and Mr. Maddock, if you see them:
President: Morgan Kodet
Vice President: Adriel Johnson
Secretary: Ella O'Keefe
Treasurer: Ashton Stephens
Reporter: Piper Rigge

Congratulations to our 3/21/25 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. When we talk about the importance of Cooperation…We are all capable of using our talents to reach our individual goals. But when we are able to combine our talents with others that is where we see groups succeed. Walt Disney, who helped to bring us the Disney's as we know said, “Whatever we accomplish belongs to our entire group, a tribute to our combined effort." This means that when we accomplish something, it means that we had to Cooperate with others and that we all celebrate the accomplishment. This week's students have been using great Cooperation! Great job everyone! It’s a GREAT day to be a RG Cardinal! #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Cooperation #oyateowichayakiyeyedo #YouHelpPeop
Don't forget! Tomorrow night is Kindergarten Registration night!

Congratulations to our 3/13/25 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. We have been talking about different ways to practice Cooperation in our classrooms. Some simple strategies to build Cooperation skills when working in a group is to 1. Make sure that everyone understands their job or role 2. Take turns to make sure everyone gets to share their ideas 3. Break larger projects into smaller tasks and 4. Help each other and share the work. This weeks students have been working so hard! Way to go! It’s a GREAT day to be a RG Cardinal! #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Cooperation #oyateowichayakiyeyedo #YouHelpPeople

Last week, 3rd Grade finished their Native American unit studying about five different regions and learning the traditional way of life for those people who lived there thousands of years ago. Pottery was an important part of life for these people! We had the chance to learn from Rochelle Lame Bull, to teach us about the pottery she and others make at Lower Sioux . Students got to make their own pots and creations with her guidance. We also learned about traditional tobacco and how it differs from commercial tobacco. We were lucky to have Mat Pendleton, Bruce Helsper, Andre Larsen, and Melvin Means demonstrate how and help the students make traditional tobacco from Red Willow!
Happy AmeriCorps week to our fabulous Early Learning Corps, Reading Corps, and Math Corps tutors!! Thank you for your time and service to our students at Reede Gray!
