A Word from Your Friendly Neighborhood Principal. . .
Parents,
It was a short week, but a good one! We have passed the halfway point of the year! On Tuesday make sure to login to ParentVUE to check your child's report card. As always, if you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher. Open communication is a must!
Parents of 5th grade students, we invite you to join us for our fifth grade DARE graduation on Thursday, 2/2 at 8:00 to celebrate your child's successful completion of the DARE program. We will then host Family Reading Night the same night from 6-8. The event will open with an optional reading fair, followed by stories read by various teachers. The event will wrap up with some cookies, story, and music from me! Hope you will join us for this fun event. See the flyers below for specific details.
Finally, make sure to check out this week's life lesson below. I have included our first student life lesson selection as part of the video! Congrats to Kellan Lara!
Sincerely,
Andrew Davis - Principal

December Golden Bear Award Winners!
We are excited to announce our ROUND HILL GOLDEN BEARS for the month!
Each month, a student from every classroom is nominated to receive this award. All students chosen for this award model our 3 R’s at Round Hill Elementary - they are Respectful, Responsible and Ready to learn each and every day!
To celebrate our Round Hill Golden Bears, each student nominated is announced on our Morning News Show the first Wednesday of each month. In addition, they will receive a certificate that includes the reasons why their teacher chose them for this award along with a golden bear paw charm. Please join me in Congratulating Our NOVEMBER Round Hill Golden Bears!
Annual Appalachian Trail Art Show (2/5-3/12)
The purpose of the show is to broaden public awareness and appreciation of the Appalachian Trail. Artists are welcome to submit their choice of artistic expression, including paintings, drawing, photography, fiber arts, stained glass, and sculpture. The show also welcomes artists in grades K-12. Artwork submissions for the AT Art Show are due January 20th to January 22nd.
We hope that some of the students will submit a piece of artwork that portrays the Appalachian Trail or a symbol of the Appalachian Trail. Examples of images or symbols include:
1. Empowering Youth
2. Volunteers & Civic Engagement
3. Compass, Maps & Navigation
4. Vast Natural Beauty
5. Priceless Cultural Heritage
6. Connect Human Spirit with Nature
7. Protect the Night Skies
8. Leave No Trace
9. Family Adventures Outside
10. Endurance Challenge
It was our hope that students may like to create their art pieces over winter break. The finished work can hang on the wall or from the ceiling or sit on a pedestal or the floor.
Artwork will be on display at the Arts Center from February 5, 2023 through March 12, 2023
There will be an Opening Reception with refreshments on February 5, 2023 from 2 pm to 4 pm. The Arts Center is located in the Hill High Orchards complex on Route 7, west of Round Hill. For more information visit: The Round Hill Arts Center
