The Roderick Staff and students returned from February vacation refreshed, ready to learn and excited for a full week of school. We hope that you all had a wonderful break!
On Tuesday night, a lot of our fourth, fifth, and sixth graders came back to school at night to support Mr. Moon, WEST, and Dancing with the Stars. It was a fantastic night! Thanks for your support!
Mrs. Clutterbuck and Ms. Downing’s class took part in their
edible simple machines exposition this week. They were faced with the challenge
to build a simple machine with ONLY edible materials. The students did rise to
the challenge, some groups even making movable parts in their simple machine!
As a reminder, the WEST comedy night will take place tomorrow, February 28th from 7-11 at Raffael's restaurant in Walpole. Please contact WEST for further information.
“Balloons for Mr. Moon” event will take place during the week of March 23. Thanks!
Family Literacy Night will be held on Monday, March 2nd from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM in the Roderick School. School librarian, Ms. Arnold and teachers from the Delaney and Roderick Schools have put together a wonderful evening for all students. Creative and exciting new programs have been added this year as well as some of the most popular activities from previous years. Our PTO will again be organizing a book swap in the cafeteria. We hope to see you all there!

Saturday, March 14th at Whitman-Hanson High School. Each year Destination Imagination challenges
students with different types of problems to solve. This year’s Technical Challenge has our teams
building a creature and sending it on an adventure. The Fine Arts Challenge asks students, “What
are you afraid of?” They need to create
a story about a character who faces a phobia, while displaying a piece of
artwork and by using an illusion. Two of
our teams are going to “The Improv Games”, using improvisational games and
street performances in random settings and with different situations. For more information
about DI over all, questions about this year’s challenges, or directions to our
tournament, etc., please contact Linda DeVore at diwrentham@gmail.com.
As a reminder, please refrain from entering the bus circle from 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM. In the last month or so, there have been numerous vehicles trying to enter the bus circle during the times mentioned above. This creates a serious safety issue for students, staff, and parents.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
