Peace Week
During the week of February 10th we will be led by our Bullydozer Student Coalition in activities and events designed to help us focus on peaceful classrooms, peaceful playgrounds and a peaceful school community.  This week is being developed entirely by our student coalition.  We will renew our commitment to a creating bullyfree community with our Bullydozer Pledge. You will be invited to make a family pledge for home and school.  Watch for details!


Congratulations 5th Grader, Jimmy Xin!
Jimmy will be representing Roberts Elementary in the District Spelling Bee on February 4th.  He was well-prepared for our campus Bee and I have no doubt he will represent our community well!


News on Musicals!
3rd grade
Our 3rd graders are working so hard on our upcoming production of Annie!  We are finalizing costuming and need the support of 3rd grade parents.  You will receive a letter with details about your child's costume needs.  For all principal roles, costumes are bring provided and should be returned, with the exception of a few minor items and shoes.  For students participating in the chorus (those 3rd graders not staying after school for Magnet Enrichment), you will receive a note detailing what your child should wear.  The show is Thursday, February 27, 6:30 p.m.

We may also need a few additional adult hands to help with preparing costumes for the 40+ students who have taken on principal roles as cast or dancers. If you are willing to help iron and/or organize and have some flexibility in your schedule, please send me an email.  I will chose one morning after drop off closer to the show and send a call for volunteers to those who expressed interest.

5th grade
We have selected Aladdin for our final production this year.  Representatives from all four 5th grade classes met with me to make the final decision last week.  We will be performing at Hamman Hall, a 466 seat theatre, home of the Rice Theatre Department, on the Rice University Campus on Thursday, May 22nd.
