The first grade classes performed their annual rainforest play modeled after the children’s book, The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. Students spent several weeks learning about the tropical rainforests and the importance of taking care of its environment. They took part in writing activities, stories, art projects, food tasting, and much more. To conclude this unit, both first grade classrooms held performances for other classes in the school and for their own families.
RB60 will be on Spring Break from Monday, April 2 through Monday, April 9. School will resume on Tuesday, April 10.
The second of three community meetings regarding planning for the future of Roanoke-Benson CUSD 60 will be held at the Roanoke-Benson Junior High School in Benson on Monday, March 26 at 6:30 PM. Optional tours of the facilities will begin at 6:00 PM.
This will be a two-part meeting. During the first segment, community members will be given information about a number of issues that were raised during the last facilities planning meeting, and asked for their input. The items to be addressed include the school district’s long-term goals, finances and funding mechanisms, curriculum, possibilities for district reorganization, and facility configurations. The first segment will conclude with a vote on how to proceed.
Depending upon the result of the vote, the second segment of the meeting is planned as a continuation of the facilities master planning process that began on March 6. BLDD Architects will present revised solutions based on public input, as well as a range of additional options for consideration.
Please contact Suerintendent Dr. Rohn Peterson (309) 923-8921, if you have any questions.
