LEADERSHIP WEEK September 24-28 is next week. This is the week we really focus on what it takes to be a good leader through our LEADER IN ME program. The teachers have many fun activities planned for the children that stress Stephen Covey's Seven Habits. We then continue to focus on them all year! We will celebrate the end of Leadership Week with a field trip on the Wendella Architecture Cruise. This will also be an early kick-off to Theme Week in March. Can you guess the topic?
Wednesday, September 26 5:00-6:00 p.m.Book Chat: What Schools Could Be
Come and join us to discuss this interesting book by Ted Dintersmith.
You may leave your children in EDP for the hour.
LEADER OF THE WEEK
As a part of our Leader in Me Program, we are instituting a Leader of the Week for Grades 1-4. This is an opportunity for your child to share more about themselves with the rest of the Lower School and participate in some special leadership activities. Each week of the school year there will be two or three leaders from different grade levels.
During the week your child is leader, they will be a Morning Greeter each day. They will need to arrive to school by 8:15 and stand in front of Ms. Orzoff’s office with the other leader(s) of the week. Together the leaders will welcome students and parents to school by saying “Good Morning” and offering a high-five or wave. We all love coming to school when greeted with a friendly smile!
Your child will also create a poster to present to the entire Lower School during our Monday Morning Meeting. They will choose one or two items to present to their peers from their poster. The poster will hang in the hallway for the week, letting others get to know more about how special they are.
Before your child is Leader of the Week you will receive an email explaining what will be needed on the poster.
Have fun! We can’t wait to learn more about you!
October 19 PUMPKIN CARVING NIGHT: This is one of Lower School's favorite events. We all have dinner, choose a pumpkin, carve a wonderful jack-o-lantern, and enjoy each others' company.

The book fair is coming December 10-14, and we need help to organize it! The Roycemore Book Fair is an excellent opportunity to encourage our students' love and appreciation of awesome books! Ms. Fisher is looking for parents to help organize the fair, and for one person to be a co-chair. No experience necessary, just a willingness to help! If you love books, this is a dream come true!
All proceeds from the book fair benefits the media center and allows us to purchase books, audio books, and other materials that matter to students.
Please contact Ms. Fisher ASAP at kfisher@roycemoreschool.org. Thank you in advance for your help!
