Author Kate Hannigan talked to the entire Lower School from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 4 and Middle Schoolers in Grades 5 & 6 about her books and what it entails to become an author.  It was an enjoyable experience for all.

ROYCEMORE BOOK FAIR, October 12-16.  Our annual book fair is earlier this year and starts tomorrow. New this year, we are teaming up with Anderson's Bookshop for a fresh fair to bring great literature and fun exciting books to Roycemore.  Our fair this year will cover books for all ages with titles to engage FAN parent attendees as well.  Get a sneak peek or buy on-line now to support Roycemore (20% or more back to our school) at www.abcfairs.com  The on-line sale goes on all year, so if you need gifts, you can buy them.
