The RCS Drama Club will present "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 5 and 6. at the Roscoe Central School Auditorium. It’s a very ordinary and rather boring day for Alice until she spots a White Rabbit with a pocket watch whizzing through a world that’s beyond imagination! Her insatiable curiosity draws her into a madcap adventure in which she meets remarkable characters like the Caterpillar, Talking Flowers, Tweedles, Dodo Bird, Mad Hatter and March Hares. When Alice finally catches up with the White Rabbit in the Queen’s Court, she’s in for her biggest adventure of all. The wonder-filled world of Alice is a fantastic journey for the adventurous of any age. The public is invited to attend.

The class started with 68 red worms.
2022-23 Parent School Climate Survey
As part of the School Climate Transformation Grant, we are asking you to please take a few minutes to complete the following survey (link to the survey: https://forms.gle/7b1gRxQHCwowvxsC9 ). All responses are anonymous and no email addresses will be collected upon submission. The responses from the survey will help us plan and use grant funding in the best way to support the needs of our district. We will be doing this yearly throughout the remainder of the grant to gain insight on the programs we are implementing and the impact they are having on the climate of our school. Thank you for your time and help with gathering this important information.
