Merry Christmas and Happy New Year


Congratulations to all of the students that participated in the Rice ISD Spanish Spelling Bee!




Rice Elementary would like to thank the Palmer Police Department for bringing Christmas gifts for some of our families today!

Thank you to our incredible community for your generous financial donations and to the students who worked so hard to shop for this year’s Christmas Angel Project! Your combined efforts are making the holidays so much brighter for local students and their families.

Christmas dress up days are always fun at Rice Elementary.

On December 9th, members of the National Honor Society were able to participate in a community wide service event held at the Palace Theatre in Corsicana. The event was sponsored by Arc Hospice and featured a showing of the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street. Residents of several care facilities were able to enjoy popcorn and hot chocolate as well as visits with Santa and Mrs. Clause!

Mrs. Caudillo’s 3rd graders created maps using the map features they have been learning about. Then they practiced reading each other’s maps during a gallery walk!
