WINTER PROGRAM: THURSDAY 12/6, 6:30pm

Put this one on your calendar early! Winter Program is one of Roycemore's biggest annual events. This all school get together takes place at 6:30 pm on December 6th and features choir and tumbling performances from all divisions. Winter program is a great Roycemore tradition that families attend year after year - we hope to see everyone there

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM/BOARD GAMES
It has reached that time of year where, depending upon the weather, the Cross Country Team becomes The Board Game Club. 
Do you have any board games that are getting dusty or are not used as much as they used to be?  We are looking for gently used board games, with all the pieces, to be donated to the Lower School for Board Game Club.  Any games that involve strategy or can be played in a 40 minute period are wonderful.  Some of our favorites from last year were Apples to Apples Jr, Othello, SET, and Monopoly.  Again, any game that is a favorite of your family I'm sure would be a hit for the students.  Thanks so much.

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. At Roycemore, we celebrate our diversity, and we love it when parents come in to share their cultures with us.
2. Our Junior Kindergarten class was reading a Thanksgiving version of the old woman who swallowed a fly.  They had so much fun with the puppet and acting it out.  What a fun way to listen to a story!


    3. As part of our Leader in Me Program, students get leadership awards when they display good citizenship or go above and beyond what is expected of them.

4. At Roycemore everyone loves our tumbling program.  Here is one boy's way to hold the door open for all the other children going to recess while practicing his splits :-) 

5. I love that our kids do not have to sit at desks to do their work if they do not want to.  Check the bottom of the blog for kids enjoying reading in comfort.
