It’s a new school year and that means “new buddies!” We had our first “Buddy Day” of the 26-27 school year at RES on Friday. Our terriers were so excited to meet their new buddies for the year and spend some time getting to know them! We love making these meaningful connections across our building! 🐾
The RES family joins with the entire community in mourning the loss of Denton Police Chief George Bacorn. We extend our deepest sympathy to our RES SRO Charmaine Bacorn, and the entire Bacorn family.
