Requested Announcements:
Sharing Our Gifts: Park Township approached Rose Park several weeks ago requesting HELP from the creative thinking our students are becoming well known for! Park Township is in the brainstorming stage of designing a community center near the property of the Park Township office. Our Rose Park kids, at their request, have been engaging in a design thinking process developing a community center that children and families might get excited about visiting! You are invited to the Township Open House with your child if you’d like to share in the process. Details of this event can be found HERE!
PT Conference Meal: Our gracious Parent Board is organizing meals for our teachers during Parent/Teacher Conference evenings. If you’re able and willing to contribute to the yummies, THANK YOU and please check this link!
Reading Blizzard - Our readers are rocketing! We're celebrating the blossoming growth we are tracking in our readers! Thank you for supporting these efforts at home!
