  How Many Griffins Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

Answer: All of us!

Roycemore School will change over from fluorescent light bulbs to LED light bulbs. This will help us save approximately 242,149 kWh in energy annually!  We need all hands on deck for this quick community change over, with jobs for all ages!  Please join students, parents, faculty and friends as we take another step toward making our building more environmentally and economically efficient.

  1. One of the signature programs in Middle School is P3, Personal Passion Project.  One of the Middle Schoolers, Julia, decided that her passion was to assist in the Junior Kindergarten room. She is a magnet for the children. They just love her and she is learning so much.

  2.The Second Graders are learning about people who have made a difference in our world. One of the people is Helen Keller.  To understand how difficult her life was being both deaf and blind, they did experiments navigating the world of Lower School with their eyes and ears covered.
