RHS mini-THON Leaders Visit Penn State's THON
 Roxbury High School mini-THON leaders and advisors made a special trip out to Penn State last weekend to take part in the annual Penn State THON event which culminates in a 46-hour dance marathon.
Fourteen of the 18 mini-THON leaders along with three of their four advisors spent half of those 46 hours in the Bryce Jordan Center taking part in THON.
Mike Gottfried, RHS mini-THON advisor shared, "It was a long and exhausting weekend, but a very impactful one for our leaders. We even met our Four Diamonds family, Ashlyn Brysiak. Very few mini-THONs have the fortune of being paired with a family, so it was that much more exciting to be able to spend time with them this weekend."

Gaels Going Green - Did you know...
Roxbury Promotes Physical Activity
As part of our Sustainable Schools initiative, Roxbury has worked to create and promote physical activity both in and out of school. The Board of Education began this back in 2017 when they adopted two board policies outlining the benefits and importance of healthy living. Both policies have an emphasis on physical activity, health, and overall wellness. Click here to review those policies on our website.
 These policies are implemented with recess at our K-6 schools and mini-activity breaks are incorporated into academic lessons throughout the day to improve student performances and to refocus our learners. Members of the staff received training on how they can use brain breaks to support learning readiness at the last two in-service day Ed Camps.
A brain break, or a brain energizer, is a physical activity designed to help students stay more attentive and focused throughout the the school day by increasing the oxygen flow to the brain and re-energizing the body. Classroom brain breaks are typically short periods of time spent incorporating movement and activity into the classroom.
Here are just a few of the samples shown to our staff:

RHS mini-THON Donor Drive Now Open - Mar 15

Broadway Shows Bus Trip to NYC
Choose from two great shows!
Kiss Me, Kate or Disney's Aladdin on Saturday, March 2nd.
Kiss Me, Kate - In the constellation of musical comedy masterpieces, Kiss Me, Kate shines on perhaps Broadway's most sparkling achievement. This is the winner of the first-ever Tony Award® for Best Musical, alive with onstage romance, backstage passion, comedy high and low, a hilarious dash of Shakespeare's Shrew, and the songwriting genius of Cole Porter at his stylish, sexy, sophisticated best. Once again, Roundabout catapults you to a musical comedy heaven, with a brand-new Kiss Me, Kate. In Cole Porter's sparkling 1948 musical, the warring lovers of The Taming of Shrew are causing trouble both onstage and off. While putting on a musical version of Shakespeare's play, exes Fred Graham (Will Chase) and Lilli Vanessi (Kelli O'Hara) can't decide if they're enraged, enamored or enormously confused whenever they cross paths out of character.
 Disney's Aladdin - Experience a whole new world in a whole new way! The beloved story is brought to thrilling theatrical life in this bold musical. With just one rub of a magic lamp, Aladdin's journey sweeps you into an exotic world full of daring adventure, classic comedy, and timeless romance. It's an unforgettable experience that includes all the cherished songs from the Academy Award®-winning score and more written especially for Broadway.
This stage production is directed and choreographed by Tony Award® winner Casey Nicholaw, and composed by Tony Award winner Alan Menken. It features lyrics penned by the legendary Howard Ashman and Tony Award® winner Tim Rice, with book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Aladdin
also showcases an incomparable design team with exquisite sets, costumes, and lighting by multiple Tony Award winners Bob Crowley, Gregg Barnes, and Natasha Katz.

New Roxbury Scoreboard a Goal of Kindness for Christopher Group
 Chris and Laura D'Amico, whose son died in a

Former Roxbury Scoutmaster Gets Kidney from Roxbury Mom
 When she made a Facebook plea on behalf of her husband for a kidney donor, Succasunna resident Kathleen Whalen Williams stressed that time wasn't on Bob's side.
That might have been true, but Williams came to learn that something else was: The kind heart of Kim Lagitch Roumes, a fellow Roxbury resident.
On Tuesday, (Feb. 12) Roumes donated one her kidneys to Williams, an act of kindness that likely saved the former Boy Scout leader's life and certainly left him awestruck.
