A note from Ms. Edwards, Principal
 Not long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting up with these former Rose Hill Rockets. These kiddos are now in middle school and were helping out with the Rose Hill Players into the early evening of a school night. I offered them a piece of candy and they spent a good bit of time hanging out in my office catching up and looking at the photos on my wall. It made my heart so happy to hear how well these young ladies are doing!
Once a Rocket, always a Rocket!
I share this to say that while we gear up to close the school building for a week for spring break, I wish everyone a safe and restful few days off of school. Please encourage your kids to get outside, play, ride a bike, make a craft, or do something besides play with technology. If you are traveling, be safe, and enjoy wherever you might be going.
The school office will be closed during the week and we are encouraging our team to step away from their computers too so if you send them an email, they will respond to you upon their return in early April.
Let's have a great week of learning and I hope your family enjoys the upcoming break!
Ms. Edwards, Principal
Preschoolers take a trip to the Smithsonian
 This past Wednesday, our youngest Rockets ventured to the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum and they had a great time! The Smithsonian hosted a special program specifically designed for youger learners and not only did our students have fun, they experience quite a few hands-on activities. Thank you to the Preschool team that coordinated this event and the parents who chaperoned.
Author Visits 2nd Graders!
 Author Carylee Carrington recently visited the 2nd grade classrooms where she read her most recent book, Everyone Just Like Me. Carylee lives in the area and became and "accidental author" because she wanted to ensure her own two children would have access to diverse literature. This is the second year that Rose Hill has hosted her and we are looking to doing so for many more years to come!

5th Graders take a trip the Baltimore National Aquarium
 The Baltimore National Aquarium was visited by our 5th graders this past week. This is a yearly trip that the 5th graders look forward to, not only because they are able to see all types of sea creatures but also because they take charted busses, which is kind of a big deal! The students spent the day exploring the aquarium and even the gift shop. Thank you to the 5th grade team for coordinating this event, the parents that were able to chaperone, and to everyone who was able to drop their students off early and pick them up later in the day. We know these schedule changes can be challenging but we appreciate you making this happen for the kids!
Bingo Night has been Rescheduled
Bingo Night was slated for this Thursday but it will be rescheduled for later in the spring. When initially scheduled, we didn't take into account how close the event was to spring break so we going to have it most like in May or early June.
