Gifts for Kids
Students in a number of fifth and sixth grade classrooms took advantage of the optional service project to earn their own money to purchase gifts for students who are less fortunate. Pictured here are three sixth graders, eager to deliver all that they had bought!

'Tis the Season!
Last Friday, December 11, 2015, a number of our traveling musicians volunteered to join Ms. Salazar to serenade friends throughout the Wrentham community!
Under the calm direction of their leader, the students are shown here at their last stop, where a number of their teachers (and principal) were able to hear them play some seasonal favorites. Thank you to our student musicians for sharing their musical gifts and a special thank you to all of the parents who made this possible as well!
Roderick Thespians in Action!
I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D.
December, 1843.
As the preface of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol suggests, the sixth graders have been exploring the meaning held within the text and re-enacting the story in their own versions of this classic as the messages of kindness and goodwill, selflessness and charity, as well as forgiveness seep into their own thoughts. Some classes are sharing a filmed adaptation with the students' families while others are going to be performing the play live for their audiences.
Please visit next week's blog for more pictures of these special performances!
Mismatch Spirit Day!
This month's spirit day was designed by the Roderick Student Council and benefited the Wrentham Food Pantry. Each year at this time, we are not only collecting food, but also hats and mittens. Our bins were overflowing! Thank you to everyone who contributed!
Coming Soon...Get your tickets before January 1st!
