Roman News October 2021
From the Principal's Desk...
October is an eventful month, learning is in full swing, and fall is in the air. We are thrilled to be part of your child’s education during this exciting time.
This time of year is one of my favorites! The leaves changing to vibrant colors, the smell of campfires, and all of the yummy pumpkin spiced foods. I just can not get enough of the season!
With fall, comes cooler weather. Please make sure you are sending your child to school with warmer clothes, sweatshirt or jacket.
As we all get ready to gear up for fall break, take time to build some memories with your kiddos. I know with the craziness that life brings, we often forget that time is the most precious thing for our little ones. Try to build some memories and laugh more this fall break!
As we go more and more into the cold weather season, please continue to have your child use a mask as needed and continually wash their hands. We have been doing well here at Rome City and hope to continue to stay healthy!
If you are by the school soon, take time to look at the leaves around the school. I am sure they will be changing soon. This is one of my favorite times of year at Rome City. Our trees are just so pretty.
Happy Fall everyone!

Principal

Reading, Reading, Reading!
Even though most children truly learn how to read in school, it does not diminish the importance of reading in the home. By incorporating the following suggestions into the home life, you increase the chances of your child becoming a student who learns the skills of reading and who also becomes a lifelong reader.
Be a reader: Keep a book you are reading on a coffee table or other place children can see it. Read a newspaper, magazine, or a book at a time when children see you reading.
Use the library: Public libraries are not only places to check out books, but have great children and family activities.
Read to your children: Just 10 minutes a night can make a huge difference. Read to your child, or have your child read to you.
Turn off the TV and computer: Set aside some time during each day when no electronic devices are used. Encourage reading and discussion during those times.
By creating a reading environment all around us, we help our children become readers themselves.
