 GRANDPARENTS DAY  On Tuesday, November 24, all grandparents and special friends of Roycemore students are invited to a breakfast with their grandchildren and a special program in the Multi-Purpose Room.  The program will begin around 8:45 with all of our Lower School students performing along with the Middle and Upper School choruses.  The morning will conclude with activities in the classrooms.  It is always a wonderful morning!!

This is a full day of school for all students, the last before the long Thanksgiving holiday.  There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 25-27.  EDP is NOT available.  Regular classes will resume on Monday, November 30.

Children in Grades 1-4 should wear dark pants (black preferred) and light tops (white preferred) for both Grandparents Day and Winter Program.  Please no blue 
jeans.  Thank you!!!

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT COMES TO LOWER SCHOOL
When you hear your children talking about different aspects of economics, you will know that Junior Achievement has come to their classrooms.  Volunteers from major corporations and from Northwestern University are giving of their time to come into classrooms and talk about the basics of economics to the children in a very fun, hands-on, but informative way.  Look at the pictures at the bottom of this blog to see the first graders creating a donut business.
