ONE BOOK, READ TOGETHER The teachers in kindergarten through fourth grade have organized a Lower School Book Club to celebrate family reading. We are asking families to read The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris together at home. Then, on April 22nd, we will gather as a community to participate in a book discussion, engage in fun activities, enjoy some treats, and even participate in some magic! We are hoping that all of you will join us. We look forward to a magical evening. This year copies of the book will be sold at school by the Leaders of the Lower School, our Fourth Grade students, who will also assist in hosting the evening. If you would like to purchase a copy please write a check to ‘Roycemore School” or bring cash in the amount of $7.00. We hope you all will participate, enjoy the book and the fun.
