Please remember there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday in observance of the Jewish Holiday Yom Kippur.  Day Camp is running for those of you who pre-registered. (We still have spaces so if you need childcare, please see below.)

YOM KIPPUR: The school will be closed in observance of the religious holiday of Yom Kippur, on  Wednesday September 19.  We will be running an Day Camp for those of you who will need childcare. Please click on this link for the registration form.  Yom Kippur Day Camp    



  ROYCEMORE SWAG/GEAR: Please visit our online store at  www.roycemoreschool.org/schoolstore  to get wonderful items to wear and use.  I know you will all love what the RFA has chosen.  Then everyone can wear your swag on October 3, Roycemore Day.  It is the 103 anniversary of the opening of our school.

UPCOMING DATES FOR YOUR CALENDAR

  • September 24-28 Leadership Week: This is the week we really focus on what it takes to be a good leader through our Leader in Me program.
  • September 26 Book Chat: What Schools Could Be
  • 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.


PICTURES THIS WEEK: I will be putting a lot of pictures on the blog at different places, but there will always be more at the bottom of the blog. 

 1.  Pre-Kindergarten is a time to play, but also a time to learn in fun ways.  Here they are learning about weather by the "weather watcher" reporting what the weather is outside.  They sing a song about the weather and dress the weather monkey accordingly.  Fun activities, but so much learning!


2. As part of our Leader in Me program, we are asking all of our students to demonstrate leadership. One way is to help our dining hall staff clean the tables after eating. Next week you will see the 4th grade leading the Lower School Monday Morning Meeting.


3.Junior Kindergartners play and learn so much. If they are ready to read, they learn to read.  They also learn to speak in front of a group.  Again this is age appropriate and if they are ready. Differentiation, one of Roycemore's hallmarks starts here. 


4. Learning and fun does not stop at 3:15, the end of the regular school day.  Our Extended Day Program is an enriched program for our children who stay.  We are open until 6:00pm.
