Greetings Rondout Family, Friends and Faculty.

Tomorrow is Family Reading Night and we have a full house of families who have reserved their spot for this fun night of reading, food and fellowship. We've got an exciting evening planned and special thanks to Robin Jacob for her hard work in planning this special evening and Mrs. Slavin who will be cooking up a storm for the spaghetti dinner.

The Cultural Celebration Committee is excited to invite Rondout families to join us on Thursday, February 29th for a family field trip to the Hindu Mandir in Grayslake. This is a great opportunity for families to learn more about the customs and traditions of some of our Indian families. The field trip is voluntary and open to all families. The tour is expected to take place between 5:30 and 6:15 p.m. followed by dinner at a local Indian restaurant, Flambe in Libertyville. Families can choose to participate in the tour, the tour and dinner, or just the dinner. Please note that families will be responsible for their own meals at the restaurant. To join us on this exciting family field trip, please complete the survey below by Monday, February 19th. We are excited to have you join us for this cultural experience! 

Have a wonderful week! Until next time…

A Taste of India will be coming to Rondout the week of February 26th. We will be hosting two days of hand-on activities and field trips on Tuesday 2/27 and Wednesday 2/28.

Festivities include tastings, art projects, a fashion show, dance party and dance demonstrations. A schedule of activities will be shared with parents who will be invited to join us for some of the activities both as volunteers and participants. It should be an exciting and enriching learning experience. We hope to see you at one or more of the activities open to parents.

The 8th grade World of Work program provides our 8th graders with opportunities to explore careers through field trips into the business, entertainment, financial, and technology worlds of work. If you would like to work with us to host a visit within your “World of Work” or if you have a connection to a host site, please let us know below.

You are cordially invited to join us on Wednesday March 6th at 6:30pm. at the Libertyville High School Auditorium for the spring concert! Please note the address for LHS is 708 W.
