Rose Hill Garden Harvest
The Rose Hill garden continues to produce a variety of vegetables. Earlier this week, Ms. Edwards picked cherry tomatoes and hot peppers (which are super hot!). Mr. Jose, our Assistant Building Supervisor, takes great pride in the planting and watering of the plants. In addition, he makes a great salsa from the vegetables he picks!

Rose Hill Players Auditions - DATE CHANGE
The Rose Hill Players is a tradition that heading into its 34th year! It is supported by the PTA and led by a group of teachers in the building and many, many parent volunteers. It's truly a wonderful and long-standing tradition that provides great memories for our students.
If you have a child in grades 2-5 that would like to audition for the upcoming play, auditions will be held Monday, October 28th at 5:30 in the Rose Hill library. This is a date change from Wednesday, October 23rd. Please update your calendars. Students need to make sure to pick up an audition packet outside of Mr. Adams classroom.
If you have questions, you can email therosehillplayers@gmail.com
RHES Book Character Day!
Book Character Day will be held Thursday, October 31st. Rose Hill teams do a wonderful job choosing themes such as the 101 Dalmations and we want the students to join us!
Students may dress up as their favorite book character for the day. It is important to note that anything that looks like a weapon, such as a sword, gun, bow & arrow (even if they are made from plastic or foam), should not be brought to school. You may also want to consider packing an extra pair of shoes or clothes for your kiddos should their costume get uncomfortable during the day.
This is such a fun day and we also want to keep everyone safe. If you have questions, contact your child's teacher.
