In the final full week of school, students in Ms. Libby Hilker’s second grade class organized a spirit week for everyone at Remington Traditional.
“We were asked to because we had our own spirit week a few weeks ago and people saw the fun that we were having and wanted to get in on it.”
The fifth graders at Remington Traditional graduated from the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program on Tuesday during a ceremony in the school’s library.
The program, which is taught by Maryland Heights police officer Bob Heitert, gives students the skills they need to recognize and resist the pressures that may cause them to experiment with drugs or become involved in unhealthy activities.
Several district activities have been canceled this year due to the pandemic, but Heitert was determined to hold this event because it’s a culmination of a lot of things for the students.

The annual Black History Month Living Museum event at Remington Traditional has been held for more than 20 years at the school and second grade teacher Ms. Libby Hilker did not want to see the tradition end due to the pandemic.
Today, students individually stood in front of a green screen to record their part while the rest of the class was in the library.
The 14th Annual Area-Wide Middle School Book Battle was held this morning. Teams from Holman, Pattonville Heights and Remington Traditional competed with 21 other schools. The event also featured three different author visits.
