Palio!!!





Sunday, March 5, 2017


               PALIO, 
Roycemore's oldest tradition will take place on Friday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m. for Grades 1-4.  Jr. Palio for students in Pre-Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten will take on Wednesday, March 15 at 8:45 a.m. The Palio for students in Middle and Upper School will start at 7:30 p.m. You are invited to that show also. 

All of the students display what they have learned in physical education.  You will be amazed watching them perform. This is the third grade practicing one of their routines. 


Roycemore will dismiss at 11:30 on Friday March 10, so we can get ready for the shows.  EDP will start at 11:30 and close at its regular 6:00 time. 
(We will be having pizza for the 1st-4th graders who stay for EDP, as they have to be in their classrooms no later that 5:40)


PALIO ATTIRE
Students in Grades 1-4 need a pair of dark shorts, preferably navy blue, their Palio tee-shirt, (light blue)  and a pair of white socks with their gym shoes.  If you have a Palio shirt that still fits, please let your teacher know, and your child will not get a new one.

  
THEME WEEK, MAKERS OF CIVILIZATION, was so much fun!  And the children learned so much! From recyclable materials they created the necessary items to survive in a biome and presented what they made to the other students in Lower School.
