A Message from Roundtown Principal, Dr. Miller
Happy Friday, Roundtown Families & Friends!
What a wonderful start we have had to fall this year! So many beautiful smiles and memories made with the promise of more to come! The Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success and our homecoming was a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out to cheer on our Roundtown portion of the parade! It's an evening we will be talking about for years to come! Thank you to everyone who sent in candy so our part of the parade could be the sweetest! There is a link to my next video message below so please check it out.
I wanted to share some sad news for our Roundtown Community. Many of you had the opportunity to work with Mr. Chad Riddle, who was with our Roundtown Family for two years teaching grades K-1. Mr. Riddle currently serves as a principal at Dallastown School District. Many of you know his wife, Caitlin, was battling cancer and her journey ended earlier this week. Her obituary can be found by clicking here. Please join me in wishing Mr. Riddle and his family peace during this time.
Have a great 3-day weekend! After last weekend's NASCAR trip, I'm looking forward to something a little less exciting (and quiet!). It's time to break out the fire pit and enjoy some cool evenings on the deck with friends.
Regards,
Dr. Miller
