Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,
It has been a busy and enriching week at Rondout School!
Our 5th through 8th grade students had the exciting opportunity to attend the UIC Flames women's basketball game as they competed against Bradley Braves women's basketball at University of Illinois Chicago. It was an energizing experience to see high-level collegiate athletics in action right here in our community. Opportunities like this connect our students to local institutions and inspire them to imagine their own futures.
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students traveled to Chicago Shakespeare Theater to experience Short Shakespeare: Hamlet. Seeing Hamlet performed live deepens students’ understanding of literature, language, and performance while bringing classroom learning to life in a powerful way.
As we prepare to welcome March next week, we also turned our attention outdoors. Work has officially begun in the Rondout garden! Students and staff started clearing beds and preparing for the growing season. We planted greenhouse jugs filled with cool-weather crops—an early and hopeful sign that spring is just around the corner. There is something special about putting seeds in soil while there is still a chill in the air. It reminds us that growth is always underway, even when we cannot yet see it. Thanks to our head garden volunteer Jenn Sprague for her leadership and support.
New Lunch Option Beginning the Week of March 9
During the week of March 9th, we are pleased to add another vegetarian option to our daily lunch menu. In addition to the regular entrée and sandwich choices, pasta will now be offered each day. Pasta is a true Falcon favorite, and when paired with selections from our salad bar, it provides another nutritious and satisfying option for students.
We will also have gluten-free pasta options available for students who need them. Our goal is to continue expanding choices while ensuring that all students have access to healthy, appealing meals during the school day.
The energy of March brings renewal, fresh starts, and continued momentum in our classrooms and across campus. Thank you for your partnership in making each week at Rondout meaningful for our students.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead.
Take care... Until next time...
