As our Roxhill students enjoy the later sunsets and warmer weather (sometimes, at least!), there are so many ways to join and support our community! Go to a baseball game with other families, help the 5th graders make a yearbook, or support Friends of Roxhill with a purchase of flowers or burritos. And of course, don't miss important updates from Mr. Robert, Nurse Ann, and Mr. Hakeem.
Last Chance: Lost & Found
Lost & Found will be cleared out on Friday March 21, 2025 @ 3:00pm. Please come take a look for lost items.
Mr. Robert's Library News
Last month, we held our in-school Global Reading Challenge competition, and the winning team was a team of 4th graders, Crunch ‘n Munch, from Mr. Martin’s classroom.
Congratulations to Meribel, Nolan, Naomi, Brayden, Gabriel, and Grant who will represent Roxhill on Monday, March 3 at a semi-final round at the Central Library. And GOOD JOB to all of the 4th and 5th graders who read books and participated in our GRC competition!
We have had to postpone the Book Fair that was scheduled for March 6 and 7. It will be rescheduled for a date in April (most likely April 3 & 4).
Yearbook Update: Buy Ads + Call for Pictures
Yearbook Club will start meeting on Wednesdays March 12-April 23 in Ms.Prynne’s room during 5th grade lunch and a bit of borrowed class time, 11:50am -12:45p.m.
Volunteers Needed
The 5th graders, Ms. Binkow and FoRE Volunteers are working on this year's yearbook. Students will be taking photos with donated cameras. We are meeting every Wednesday during 5th grade lunch and need a couple of extra volunteers to help us chaperone the kids while they photograph other students on campus. It would also be great if you can take photos for the yearbook too. You must be an SPS approved volunteer to participate. Sign Up Here

The 5th grade yearbook club is working with art teacher Ms. Binkow and Friends of Roxhill volunteers to produce a beautiful keepsake to commemorate the 2024-2025 school year. Every student will receive a yearbook at the end of the year. To help fund this project, we are looking for local businesses to buy ads on the last pages of the yearbook. Spread the word about your business and support a great cause! Email friendsofroxhill@gmail.com for more details.
Request for Photos
We are collecting baby pictures of 5th graders for the yearbook. Please submit them by March 28. We are also collecting photos for the 2024-2025 yearbook, which will be distributed at the end of June. Do you have photos from chaperoning a field trip or at one of our school events like Family Fun Night or Skate Night? Please email photos to friendsofroxhill@gmail.com or text 858-531-0751

Nurse Ann's News
It’s that time of year again. ALL students’ immunization records must be up to date by
April 21, 2025, or the student will not be able to attend school. Up to date means:
Your student has had all of the required immunizations for their age
You have a signed Certificate of Exemption on file
You have a set appointment to get your child immunized, and you keep that appointment
Immunizations are an important part of a community’s health. Please talk with your child’s health care provider, Ms. Mitzi in our School Based Health Center (206-452-2660), or Nurse Ann (206-252-9577) if you have any questions or concerns.
About Kings & Queens
Our Kings and Queens team is a program to empower our youth, to allow them a safe space to build meaningful relationships with other Roxhill staff and their peers. Our goal for the Kings’ and Queens’ teams is to empower the students to become the best they can be.
We meet once a week and talk about many different topics like Friendship, and what it means to be a Roxstar. Each month we focus on a topic that is either an idea from their teachers or a topic picked by the students.
We also want to be able to support the parents of our Kings and Queens by offering resources for things such as food, shelter and clothing. We build connections with community partners and do weekend events where families can come together.
