The annual volleyball game is back again this year. This athletic challenge is between upper school students in grades 7 and 8 and the faculty. Mark your calendars for Friday March 24th at 1:15 p.m. Parents are welcome to attend. Please enter through the main entrance (near the flagpole). Parents are free to sign out their child after the game. This is an early release day in anticipation of spring break with a 2 p.m. dismissal for K-2 and a 2:30 p.m. dismissal for 3-8. It is one of our long-standing traditions enjoyed by both participants and the audience.

We will be launching a special school wide gardening project creating mini greenhouses out of plastic milk jugs. Please save your empty gallon milk jugs. If you could please send them to school clean and with the caps on that would be helpful. We will share more about this exciting project in the weeks ahead. The empty milk jug collection will begin now and go through the Friday before Spring Break. We need "a lot" of milk jugs so check with your family, friends, and neighbors. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions.

For one day each spring, the population at Rondout doubles. That day, we open the doors and welcome special guests for Special Seniors Day, an event that recognizes and celebrates the special relationships and interactions between generations, and the desire for multigenerational interaction as part of our children’s education. The goal of the program is to give students a chance to bond with their special guests at school. The event is a collaboration between the PTSA and teachers, school administration, and the community. Proud grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents and family friends have flown in from as far away as Los Angeles. Parents play a critical role in Special Senior’s Day (see below). Because of this, parents are encouraged to find someone other than themselves, but if they want to be special guests, that’s OK. RSVP Early! We want to personalize this event as much as possible! To do that, we need to capture the names of each Special Guest visiting Rondout. Please RSVP using the link: https://www.punchbowl.com/parties/7232fd1b275fed322817 Parents/Volunteers are needed for this event! This is a shout out to all Rondout parents, nannies, and friends who could spare an hour of their day on Friday, April 28th. We need help in all areas/aspects of this event. There is something for everyone to contribute on Special Seniors Day. Volunteer now by using the link: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/570071099135320104/false#/invitation
