Don't miss Friday coffee & conversation and swag sale!
Fall for Ross, our fall fundraising and engagement drive kicks off this week.
Stay tuned for more details!
Friday Coffee & Conversation
Our special guests will be Ross’s Mental Health Team of Rachel Clark, clinical social worker, and Ashlee Adams, school psychologist. Ms. Clark and Ms. Adams look forward to meeting you and exploring topics of interest for educational seminars and workshops this year.
Support STEM at Ross
Ms. Sawyer is requesting donations for the STEM lab:
- Legos
- Fabric scraps, any size
Simply send donations with your student and mark them with LAB or SAWYER. They will be picked up from classrooms.
School Supplies
This is the last week of our school supply fundraising drive! If you haven't paid for your child's supplies, donate here ($100/child is suggested).
The PTA provides school supplies for all students at the beginning of the year. Families are asked to make a donation to support this cost. Please consider an extra donation to help cover costs for families who may be unable to contribute.
Girls on the Run - Open to 2nd Graders and up!
Registration is still open for the Dupont Community Team of Girls on the Run (GOTR)! Last spring, we had a great team and coaches, and wanted to continue to bring this activity to our 2nd-5th grade girls at Ross. You can find out more info here and in the flyer linked below.
Register online here. Enter “Dupont Community Team” for the site/school field. Practices will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:45 p.m. at Stead Park.
Invitation to Join the Dupont Transportation Walk - Oct 1 at 3pm
DC Councilmember Brooke Pinto and her team will be hosting a North Dupont Circle-focused walk and discussion of transportation issues on Friday, October 1st, from 3-5 pm. They will walk just over one mile and hold listening sessions along the way to hear directly from residents about their safety concerns (see map of route). The fourth planned area to stop is near Ross, around 4pm. See event details and a map of the route. Register to join here.
Fun Fridays at Ross!
