Board of Supervisor Lusk Visits RHES

Lusk

 

Mr. Rodney Lusk, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for Lee District, came to visit Rose Hill Friday afternoon. This was a great opportunity for Supervisor Lusk to meet various members of the Rose Hill team, interact with the students, and see our building. In the picture above, he spent some time doing a Q&A with Mrs. Malone's second grade classroom. He also visited a few other classrooms sharing what his job is, where he grew up, and some kiddos even asked how tall he is! Ms. Edwards shared with him the importance of trying to get a playground that is truly accessible for all of our students. She was advocating that if the mulch could be replaced with soft tile, that would be a great start to ensuring that all of our students can play on the playground. We'll see if that can come to fruition! We are very appreciative of Supervisor Lusk for making time in his schedule to visit our awesome Rockets!

Choral Festival

6th Grade All-County Choral Festival

Saturday afternoon, Rose Hill had two 6th graders participate in the All-County Choral Festival. Andrew and Ari represented our school.

This event has over 650 6th graders from across the county that come together the Friday before with a guest conductor to rehearse the music and then Saturday is the performance. The music is absolutely fabulous and such a spectacular event! 

Mr. Postman and Mrs. Bartley, RHES music teachers, are an intregal part in making this happen. A special thank you to them for providing our students with this opportunity!


Thank you!

We had just over 450 parents come Thursday to eat lunch with their students for the Swing into Spring Luncheon. Thank you so much for attending. The smiles on the students' faces was amazing and after lunch, the children had a little extra pep-in-their-step. One young child remarked to Ms. Edwards, "I like that my mom can see where I have to go to work everyday." 😊
