The end of the year is packed with activities for our Lower School Children


STAND AGAINST RACISM
On Wednesday at 1:30pm, All Lower School students will join the rest of the school  to line up on Ridge Ave. with the larger community. "Stand Against Racism is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities.

JESSE WHITE TUMBLERS will be at Roycemore on Thursday to entertain our entire school.  It will be a wonderful experience for all of our children, especially since tumbling is one of our signature programs.

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. Roycemore Student Garage Sale: A Mathematical Experience, Students in grades 1-4 focused on money and participated in a “garage sale”

2. The Third Graders created a Wax Museum. They read a biography about a famous person, researched him/her, wrote their own biography, dressed as that person and presented what they wrote at the museum.



3. One Book/Read Together was so much fun for everyone, parents and children! Plus the pies were delicious! Thank you to the Lower School teachers Darcy Aksamitowski, Tara Skinner and Bellamy Taylor Pines, who planned and executed this wonderful event
