Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,


It has been a wonderful week…. We enjoyed celebrating the Class of 2023 as they graduated Wednesday. Today the PTSA hosted a lovely, delicious luncheon honoring the faculty and staff. Special thanks for a memorable luncheon, thoughtful greetings and a wonderful update on the Libertyville High School Class of 2023 who are successfully on their way to the next stops on their life journey. We were proud to hear of the success of each of our alumni who graduated from LHS last night.


We have a busy few days ahead after the long weekend including K-2 and 3-5 field trips, the culmination of the sixth and seventh grade literacy unit and the final day of school with the Circus. Parents are welcome to join us for the student performance at 1 p.m. and all students will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.


Hoping you all enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend. Summer break is just around the corner.  


Dr. Jenny Wojcik

On Monday, June 5, 2023 students at Rondout will share in a unique learning experience as they enter the big top of Cirque Amongus. Cirque Amongus is

a self-contained school program offering students, teachers, and parents the opportunity to

explore the world of the circus from the inside.


The school day begins not with the bell, but with the sound of a circus train whistle. The kids are gathered from throughout the school into troupes of 10. Once the kids meet with their assigned instructor for the day, they begin a training circuit, sampling 10 different circus acts including juggling, tight-wire, and acrobatics. They are encouraged to learn, experiment, and think creatively at each station. After lunch, new troupes are formed as the students each choose their favorite act and begin a focused training session. They have one hour to assemble an act with the members of their troupe. When the hour is up, the curtain rises on Cirque Amongus.


Cirque Amongus is the show. It is the circus discovered that day by the students, parents,

and teachers. It is the circus in, around, and connecting each of us. Each troupe performs a

three-minute act. Kindergarten children pantomime the animals of the circus -- elephants,

lions, and tigers. The older children display their newfound talents in a show sure to

entertain, amaze, and amuse. When the curtain closes and the show comes to an end, the

students are left with a sense of accomplishment, showmanship, and an experience that they

will never forget -- the day the circus came to them.


Cirque Amongus introduces the circus arts in a fun filled environment promoting

self-confidence, perseverance, and teamwork. Students discover newfound talents as they

experiment first hand with rolling globes, tight-wires, unicycles, equilibristics, magic, juggling,

acrobatics, stilts, trapeze, and pantomime. The Cirque Amongus instructors are experienced

performers trained in a wide variety of circus arts. They oversee the training, lending advice,

keeping an eye on safe practices, and demonstrating equipment. For more information on

Cirque Amongus, visit www.cirqueamongus.com.
