Today is World Kindess Day! We challenge you to take a minute and do share kindness with someone around you:
* Send a text or email telling someone how much you appreciate them
* Compliment someone
* Pay it Forward at a restaurant

Pee Wee Basketball and Cheerleading will be beginning in December. Earlier in the year we sent out interest forms for students in grades 3rd and 4th. Students that are interested must have a sports physical on file with the school nurse before they are able to practice. Please make sure a copy is sent to the school nurse. Coaches will be reaching out soon to those that returned the papers for Pee Wee. If your child is still interested, please watch the Athletic Calendar on the website and app for practice times starting in December. We will also post the first practice time for each of the teams (3rd grade boys, 4th grade boys, 3rd/4th girls, and cheerleading) on the Rome Facebook page.

For all things sports, you will look at the "Athletic Events" calendar! This will include practice times, game times, and locations!
For ANYTHING else, check out the "Events" calendar! Early dismissals, Field Trips, Picture Day, etc. can be found there!

A few friendly reminders:
* We will be outside for recess as much as we can. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately in layers! As the weather continues to change coats, hats, and gloves are encouraged!
* Gym shoes are required for indoor PE. Please make sure that your child's P.E. shoes fit. Gym shoes do not need to be new, but do need to be clean and not worn outside!
