Please remember there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 21 to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Our Extended Day Program will NOT be available.

PREVIEW NIGHT/STATE OF THE SCHOOL Thursday, January 24 6:00-7:00 p.m. 

This evening you will hear from Adrianne Finley Odell , Head of School and Tom Ellis, Board Chair, of all the exciting programs that are happening in our school.  You will then go to the classroom in which your children will be in next year to meet the teacher and hear all about the exciting curriculum, projects and activities that they are planning for them. We are all so proud of our amazing faculty and I know you will be too. Fourth Grade parents will hear about our fabulous Middle School from the Middle School faculty. This is what is so wonderful about Roycemore.  We already want you to make that connection with next year's teacher to start a relationship and partnership with them for your children.  There is nothing better than both of you working together for your child.  There will also be an exhibit of what our Middle School students are doing in P3, (Personal Passion Project). and our Upper School students doing in JST (January Short Term). Both of these, plus the Lower School Theme Week in March, are signature programs which set our school apart.

Childcare will be available!


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. The 2nd Graders studied all the properties of simple machines.  They were then given a Design Thinking problem.  They were elves who worked in a bakery and needed to get the flour, milk, eggs, etc into a mixing bowl that was much taller than they were. How were they going to solve that problem? 

   2. The Pre-kindergartners think they are playing a game, but oh are they learning!

3. The Junior Kindergartners are having a great week back.  They are doing so much and again, oh are they learning.
