Curbside Compostng Assembly
Please Help Rowyaton Begin Our Composting Journey
On Friday, the Rowayton PTA hosted an assembly to teach all students about composting and recycling. This supports our school's mission to instill values of responsibility, open-mindedness, cooperation, kindness, and safety in order to be global citizens that care about our world. Starting Monday, students will be sorting waste from their own lunch to be composted or recycled.
Calling all Parents! COMPOSTING during lunch starts Monday. Please help us get Rowayton Elementary's new composting program off to a strong start!

Wear Orange on Wednesday for Unity Day...Then Wear Pink on Friday for PINK OUT Day!
Unity Day promotes a universal message of kindness, acceptance and inclusion. Unity Day is celebrated with a color described as warm and inviting, and its vibrancy makes an impactful statement. On Friday, show your support for Pink Wellness and Breast Cancer Awareness by wearing pink.
Pumpkin Parade Costume Donations
The Rowayton Pumpkin Parade is one of our most exciting events! Students bring in their favorite costumes or festove fall outfits from home and do a few laps around the field to fun music while their family comes to cheer them on! To ensure all students can participate, we need your help in collecting extra costumes. Please sign-up to donate new or very gently used costumes or come in the morning of the parade to help be a personal stylist or face painter!! If you would love to help but are short on time, consider a Venmo donation https://venmo.com/u/Kimberleigh-Deklyn. As the event approaches, I will use any donated funds to fill in the missing gaps. Donations can be dropped in the box located in the front entrance.
More information on the parade will come out as the event gets closer.
Please contact Kimmi DeKlyn with any questions 503-507-3524
Apple Crunch Winners!
October is National Apple Month. Students have been tasting different types of apples during lunch in the cafeteria. Teachers were invited to share photos of their students crunching into these delicious treats for a chance to win an apple pie party. CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Fiorentini's Kindergarteners for taking the top crunch prize!
There will be variety of local CT apples featured on the school breakfast and lunch menus throughout the entire month of October. This month aims to celebrate and support local agriculture, public education, and community commitment to the importance of healthy, nutritious meals in schools. Each year, legislators, food service directors, farmers, and students gather through farm to school activities and consumption of local products. Below is a link to a fun educational video below featuring Patti Popp of Sport Hill Farm in Easton, in spirit of supporting local farms and teaching students where their food comes from.
Safety Tips Brought to You by the Safety Patrol
1) Pull all the way up so that we can fit as many cars as possible in the circle and driveway
2) Stay in your car and a safety patrol member will open the door to help your children
3) Line up alongside the doors, not in front for easy access into the building upon arrival
