THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10 IS WINTER PROGRAM!
All children in Grades 1-4 will be participating in singing.  The Third and Fourth Graders will join the Middle and Upper School in dance-tumbling.  It is always a wonderful show and a great Roycemore tradition.  We hope to see you all there.

The show will start at 7:00PM.  Students should arrive to their classrooms around 6:30 and no later than 6:45.

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!!

HOUR OF CODE FAMILY CELEBRATION FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11
The Hour of Code is a week-long, global effort to get kids to learn about computer programming, an essential 21st Century skill.  This year Hour of Code Week is December 7-13.  Just like last year, Roycemore will participate in a few ways.  Most of our students, in all grade levels, will complete coding lessons during class throughout the week.  The week will end with our 2nd annual Family Coding Celebration.  This fun family event will take place Friday, December 11, from 3:15-5:15 pm in the MPR.  For more information or to RSVP for the Celebration, please visit  roycemorehourofcode.weebly.com/.

A TIME OF GIVING
Although we promote community service all year long, this is the time of year that the Roycemore community does many things to contribute to the greater community around us.

1. NON-PERISHABLE FOOD DRIVE FOR THE NILESS TOWNSHIP FOOD PANTRY, FRIDAY 11/20 THROUGH WEDNESDAY 12/9

2. TOYS-FOR TOTS COLLECTION MONDAY 11/3O THROUGH FRIDAY 12/11

3. PROJECT LINUS FRIDAY 12/18 (donations needed by 12/17)
As part of our Wassail celebration, all members of the Roycemore community (parents welcome) will work together to create fleece blankets for Project Linus.  If you can donate two yards of fleece, it would be appreciated.  

CLOSURE ON RIDGE AVENUE
There will be closures on Ridge Avenue between Church and Davis next week from Monday, December 7 through Thursday December 10 while the City of Evanston performs work on the water mains.  Ridge will be reduced from four to two lanes until the work is completed.  Please plan to leave extra time to get to and from school next week.  It is recommended that if you normally use Ridge, you might consider an alternate route next week.
