Monica Ros School

Please make a point of dropping by Meyer Hall this week.   Consistent with our Renaissance theme this year, Monica Ros children have had many an opportunity to “reawaken” their abilities and have created the most beautiful and thought- provoking works of art.   These creations will go home next week, in the mean time come and enjoy the vast collection on display.  Meyer Hall is open Wednesday through  Friday 7:30am – 5pm.

Dear Blue Room Families,

Welcome back to school! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year! The Blue Room children were so happy to be back at school to see their friends, teachers and classroom.

We are excited to welcome Karis to the Blue Room, her sister Ava to first grade and their mom, Roya. We are so happy to have them join our Monica Ros family. Please add their address to your parent handbook:

Next Tuesday, January 12 from 5:30 to 6:30 we will be hosting “A day in the Life” at Monica Ros School. This evening gives you an opportunity to visit the Blue Room (from 5:30 to 6:00) and experience a portion of a school day just like your child. At 6:00 you will visit the classroom that your child will be going to next school year. Your child will be your Blue Room guide so please bring them with you!

January 29th is Founder’s Day. This would be Monica Ros’ 109th birthday! Parents, family and friends are invited to enjoy this wonderful whole school assembly which takes place on the black top. If your child does not attend school on Friday, please join us in the classroom at 9:45. Each class presents a song or a poem in honor of Mrs. Ros and then we have some birthday cake. It is a great show and one of the only times you can see the whole school in action. This is also the final day of the Monica Ros Art Gallery in Meyer Hall. (Your child will have art displayed.)

January promises to be a busy month. Please save these dates:

January 12th Tuesday 5:30 to 6:30 A Day In the Life

January 18th Monday – No school Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Please remember to park on the street or in an actual parking spot during drop off and pick up if you walk in the gate even if it is for just a moment.

Scholastic Book orders will be due back on January 15th! Thanks, Kara!

Sincerely, Diana and Nancy

Our Second Grade Community Field Trip has been rescheduled to February 3rd.

Each year, grade school students from kindergarten through third grade combine into small, multi-age groups to pursue art experiences in depth. Projects are created to explore one, two, and three-dimensional art involving a variety of media and multi-step processes. Preschool children participate by creating art in their individual classrooms.  All student artwork is exhibited in Meyer Hall beginning at noon on Wed. and through Friday. This year the theme is Renaissance.
