Our first ever outdoor BINGO night was a HUGE success!! A huge thank you to everyone who came and supported this wonderful family event! The weather was PERFECT! Make sure to check out some of the photos below! Please join me in thanking Becky Nielsen, Sancia Winslow, Tera Money, and the many parents and staff members who volunteered to make the event a success!
SOL testing continues next week! We are VERY proud of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders! You guys and gals are working hard!
If you are free on Tuesday at 1 pm, please stop by the school for our May PTO meeting. It will be held in our teacher's lounge. We are seeing parent representative on the following committees:

All your favorite events are back -- the 5k, parade, pie-eating contest, downhill derby, stage entertainment and children's activities -- plus we've added a cornhole tournament in the Town Park!
But we need YOUR help to make May 27 the Best Day of the Year in Round Hill! Volunteers are needed through the day to help set up the park, man the information booth and run all the fun events! Please consider spending an hour or two of your day helping make the day go smoothly. Sign up for a spot (or two!) at
