Lost and Found


Dear Royal Oak School Families,

We want to remind students and parents that the Lost and Found is located in the vestibule and can be accessed anytime during the school day.

Lost and Found items will be put out on display in the gathering space during school conferences on March 21 at 1:00 p.m. and will remain on display until 12:00 p.m. on March 22.  All items that have been clearly labeled, will be returned to students prior to being put on display.  We encourage all families to have a look at these items during this time.  All lost and found items not picked up by 12:00 noon on March 22 will be donated to charity.

Sincerely,

Royal Oak School

YMCA STRONG KIDS

YMCA Strong Kids

Strong Kids is an annual fundraising campaign that focuses on raising resources that give kids the opportunities they need to live healthier, happier lives both today and in the future.

When you make a donation to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, you are:
-     Helping a child learn to swim
-     Helping a teen learn to lead and feel success
-     Enabling a child to participate in a recreation or physical activity
-     Enabling a family to use trusted, quality child care

Donations help kids build a better community for the future.  


In support of this campaign we are offering photos with our masterpiece which will be emailed to you by your classroom teacher. Donations can be made into the golden treasure box.
