RHES Book Fair is this Week!
The annual book fair is taking place this week. Students will come to the library to fill out a "wish list" and then they will have the opportunity to buy their books. The fair will be open late Tuesday, December 10th from 4:15-7:00pm.
The easiest way to pay for books is to set up an eWallet account for your child. Here is the link to a document that should answer any questions you may have about the eWallet.
Volunteers are still needed! If you volunteers, you will received 20% off of your purchase. Check the sign-up sheet to see if there are any time slots that you might be able to help out.
If you have questions about the book fair, email librarian Mrs. Millett at ccmillett@fcps.edu.
PTA Updates
Spring Enrichment: We are finalizing courses for the PTA-Sponsored After-School Spring Enrichment program and will share that information soon. In the meantime, we are able to share that the dates for the Spring Enrichment program are 2/24-4/10 and class times will be 4:15-5:15 pm. We will need volunteers, so please send a message to PTACommunicationsRoseHill@gmail.com if you are interested. Volunteers who can commit to at least 8 days during the 6-week session will receive one PTA-paid seat in one enrichment class for one child.
As you may have heard, this year's Fun Run raised over $25,000!! This money will be used for things like buses for field trips, enrichment program scholarships, Staff Appreciation Week, etc. Some of the money will be used for school improvements approved by membership in November's budget vote. The first of these improvements, resurfacing 12 white boards in the upstairs classrooms, will take place over winter break. The teachers are incredibly thankful to be able to use a smooth, whiteboard surface daily. While it seems relatively minor, it's going to make a huge difference! Thank you for your generosity!
New RHES Office Team Member
This week, Rose Hill welcomed Michael Butler to the office team. Mr. Butler is excited to work in a school environment where he sees his role as crucial piece of the puzzle ensuring teachers, students, and parents are supported. Next time you are in the office, please introduce yourself and welcome Michael!

Jack of All Trades
One of the things Ms. Edwards, our school principal, values the most is the early mornings. It's when the building is quiet and you'll often find her tinkering on various projects when she needs to get out from behind the computer.
Friday morning, a team member was surprised to walk into the mod to see her installing door stops on the 2nd grade classroom doors; and that is when this photo was snapped. ☺️
