The Edwin Parr Award celebrates exceptional first-year teachers across Alberta — and honestly, Reagan was made for this. 🌟

From day one, her calm, caring, and upbeat energy has made Grade 1 a place students love being. She’s already made a huge impact at RES, and it’s safe to say our school community loves having Mrs. Wilde on our team. 💛

RES is super proud of Mrs. Wilde, and we’re cheering her on loudly. 🎉👏

🌟 RES COMET CHOIR SHINNING BRIGHT 🌟

The Raymond Elementary Comet Choir wrapped up an amazing 2025/2026 school year!

Along with earning a Superior Rating at the festival, they also brought home two phenomenal awards at last Friday’s Lethbridge & District Music and Arts Festival awards ceremony.

Look what they pulled off:

✨ Superior Rating
🏆 Mrs. Fred Jackson Memorial Challenge Shield — Best Juvenile Chorus
💰 $300 Lethbridge B’Nai Brith & Hebrew Congregation Award — For a Deserving Elementary Choir

Our students worked hard, sang beautifully, and represented RES with so much heart.

If you hear a little extra pride around Raymond today, that’s us celebrating their success.

Congratulations, Comets — you made our school very proud. 🌟
