Welcome back!
We hope you had a wonderful Spring Break. There are a myriad of events happening between now and the end of the year.  Please read the blog every week, so you know what is happening!

AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
You can still sign your children up for all the spring session after-school enrichment activities. The information was attached to the email accompanying the blog. They will begin tomorrow, April 8.



 ONE BOOK, READ TOGETHER

The teachers in Grades 1-4 have organized a fun evening to celebrate family reading.  We are asking each family to read Pie by Sarah Weeks.  On April 17, we will gather together to participate in a book discussion, engage in fun activities, and even enjoy some pie!  We are hoping that all of you will join us.

We look forward to seeing you there,


Roycemore Student Garage Sale: A Mathematical Experience
We are so excited to extend our math learning in the lower school! When we return from Spring Break, students in grades 1-4 will be focusing on money and will participate in a “garage sale” over the course of two Thursday math periods. These dates will be April 18th and April 25th.  Please read the parent letter with specific information about this event.  The students will be learning about the “garage sale” this week (Student Letter) and will be coming home to gather items. Please let your classroom teacher know if you have any questions.  We appreciate your support.

ROYCEMORE'S AUCTION AND SCHOLARSHIP DINNER,
SATURDAY APRIL 27
The Auction and Scholarship Dinner supports the financial aid and scholarship funds of Roycemore School where nearly 50% of our student body receives some kind of financial aid. This incredible commitment is due to the support of our entire community, from current parents and grandparents to alumni and their families - all who want to see Roycemore continue to thrive in a manner that is accessible to people from all different backgrounds. 
Also one of our Lower School grandfathers, Jerry Springer will be the host!




Put Wednesday, May 1 on your calendar. It is the LOWER SCHOOL MUSICAL, 101 DALMATIANS.


SUMMER CAMP/INSPIRATION FACTORY REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

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. Before Spring Break, the 3rd Graders completed their study of chemistry where they had to figure out what five white powders were by doing many chemical experiments. One experiment was doing a heat test. The students organized lab notes and figured out what the powders were.Then the students had their assessment to figure out what two powders they had in their mystery bag. 


  2. Roycemore's 4th-8th students competed against four other schools in the Battle of the Books.  Our 4th grade team "Dem Griffins" won first place! Congratulations Boys!!!
