Reed Elementary

Friday, Reed celebrated current graduating seniors who were once Panthers! 💙🐾 What a special day reconnecting, reminiscing, and celebrating these amazing graduates as they walked the halls once again. We loved seeing familiar faces back at Reed and hearing about all they’ve accomplished since their Panther days.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🎓💙

Today we celebrated an incredible milestone in the Reed community…raising over $500,000 for the American Heart Association over the past 24 years!

A huge thank you to Coaches Plogger and Driscoll for leading Reed’s fundraising efforts year after year while also teaching our students amazing jump rope skills along the way.

We were also honored to welcome Miss Missouri Teen, Greta Clark, who spoke to our Panthers about the importance of healthy habits and the meaningful impact Reed’s support has had on so many lives through the AHA.

We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for making a difference together! ❤️🙌

Reed is so lucky to welcome talented children’s authors to inspire our students! Today, author and illustrator Nick Bruel, creator of the popular Bad Kitty series, visited Reed to read from his newly released book, demonstrate how he illustrates his famous feline character, and share about his journey to becoming an author and his writing process.

Our students were completely mesmerized by Mr. Bruel’s stories, and two lucky winners even received signed copies of his books! 📚

A huge thank you to Mrs. Gilette for organizing and creating such a meaningful and memorable experience for our students!

Today we celebrated our amazing Nurse Burlew!
From band-aids and ice packs to comforting students and caring for our entire school community, we are so grateful for everything she does each and every day. Thank you, Nurse Burlew, for the kindness, care, and support you bring to Reed! 🩺💙
