From the Garden

Our school garden remains a hub of activity this fall. Students are:

• Harvesting the last of the summer crops.
• Planting fall vegetables for late-season growth.
• Preparing the garden for winter with the traditional planting of garlic.

The garden continues to provide rich, hands-on learning opportunities while connecting students to nature and sustainability practices.

As we move through this busy month, thank you for your continued support of our students and community. Together, we make Rondout a special place to learn, grow, and thrive.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend as we enjoy some summer-like weather.

Take care... Until next time...

Stretch your legs and join us for the Rondout Family Fun Run! We will join as a Rondout community and race around the grounds for a 1.5 mile run. We welcome runners/walkers of all abilities and ages, but please be aware that the course will cover both paved and grassy areas.

Join us for a day filled with autumnal delights at the Fall Fun Fest and Halloween Parade on October 31, 2025! This year students may wear their costumes to school. While we encourage students to wear their most creative costumes—just remember, no weapons or violent themes allowed! Students may not bring look-a-like weapons. Masks can only be worn during the parade, and inflatable costumes should be brought to school to be put on at parade time.

We need enthusiastic parent volunteers to help make this day a spooktacular success, so look for the to sign up in next week’s Falcon Flyer! Volunteers are needed throughout the day so we hope you can find a time that works in your schedule. Families are invited to join us for the K-5 parade at 2 p.m., followed by an early 2:30 p.m. dismissal.

Rondout ghouls and goblins in grades K-5 will kick off the morning with a special Magic Show assembly, along with craft stations, spooky stories and a yummy snack to name a few. We’ve got lunch covered with delicious pizza for all students, plus gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. Students may also bring their own lunch if they choose.

In the afternoon, our 6-8 students will join in on the festivities with a pizza lunch and a bowling trip—leaving after lunch and returning by 2:30 p.m. It’s a day of fun for everyone, so mark your calendars and join us for a fun-filled day of community building and enjoyment!
