2016 LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8
One of Roycemore's most exciting is right around the corner! From 2:00-3:00PM, all students will gather in the MPR to enjoty a performance of traditional Chinese Folk music by the Middle and Upper School Roycemore Ensemble, and we will work on a fun, festive craft together. In order to create the holiday spirit, we encourage everyone to wear something festive or red on Monday.
ROYCEMORE SPIRIT STORE: TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS 3:30-4:30 PM
The Upper School Student Government has opened a Roycemore Spirit Store. Open on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30-4:30PM, please come and peruse our Roycemore spirit gear, with youth and adult sizes available. Proceeds from the store go into purchasing new spirit gear. Location may change, but can primarily be found in the main lobby by the MPR or in the PE foyer.
Now is the time to sign up for DISCOVERY UNLIMITED AND CAMP. Because the NU Center For Talent Development will be using our building this summer, Discovery will take place the first two weeks after school is out, June 13-24.
A full description of the Discovery and Camp offerings are at http://www.roycemoreschool.org/summer You will also find a link for online registration.
Discovery is starting a week before camp this year. Therefore we will be offering an Extended Day Program until 3:00 p.m. for those of you who need childcare for the first week. The children will be able to cycle into camp as usual for the second week, so we will be having childcare until our usual 6:00 for that week.
