This Week at River Oaks

Happy March Everyone!!  It is lovely to enjoy more daylight! This is a reminder that our clocks all change next Saturday, March 9 as we go to Daylight Savings Time.

We continue to see lots of activity at River Oaks.  The musical is coming along nicely - the props are amazing and we hear singing and see students practicing their choreography during breaks.  It’s also amazing to see the commitment of our students (and their parents!!!), coming to school at 7:45 to team practices or breakfast club. Well done!

Last week we let students know about the ROPS Cookbook cover contest. Our Multicultural Day/Evening will be held in late April - stay tuned for more details!

Pizza Orders: Term 3 orders are now available on School Cash online. They are due March 25th
