Happy Thanksgiving to our Blue Devils! We hope you enjoy your holiday.
The Roscoe Central School Class of 2023 will host five games of the American Basketball Association’s Catskill Cardinals in the gymnasium.
Games will be at 3 p.m. Saturdays, Nov. 26, Dec. 10, Jan. 7, Jan. 28 and Feb. 11.
There is a suggested donation of $3 per person to enter, and concessions will be available. Proceeds benefit the senior class.
The fifth graders are using their math skills to plan a Thanksgiving dinner party for 10 guests. They must choose items to serve, explain why they chose those items, and calculate the cost of how much food they will need. The real challenge is that they can't exceed their small budget of $100.
Our Kindergartners celebrated the 50th Day of school last week with a day of all things "50" (including the 1950s). See more photos on our Facebook page
