Mardi Gras Masquerade Auction
Saturday, March 8th, 6:30 pm
I do hope that you are planning to join the fun on Saturday evening!  The annual school auction is the primary fundraiser for our PTO, and raises money that goes directly to Roberts Elementary.  The PTO works to raise money to support classroom instruction and essential learning opportunities.  Money raised from ticket purchases and auction purchases that evening are important to providing professional development such as IB training, Rice University Mathematics School Program, and curriculum enrichment, such as Writers in the Schools and Young Audiences Residencies.  And its just a whole lot of fun spending the evening together!

Big thanks to the many people who are working tirelessly to put the finishing touches on our big event. Liz Singleton and her crew are working hard to make this a great evening for the rest of us! 


Magnet Enrichment
Our 5th graders will begin rehearsals on Tuesday for their stage production of Aladdin, Jr.  They will begin with auditions on Tuesday and Thursday.  All students interested in taking part in the after school enrichment will be given spots as members of cast, dance or crew.  Students not interested or able to stay after school for primary roles, will be learning the music during their music ancillary class, and will be members of the chorus.  All 5th graders will have a role in the production.

We want to get feedback on the last production from our 3rd grade parents.  Please take a moment to tell us what you think!
