Rowayton Elementary School

Recap - FirstBook 2023

On Friday, May 26 all students will celebrate our success with R.O.C.K.S. We will be hosting a virtual school wide assembly with the NED Show. The NED Show has presented to Rowayton in the past. This particular assembly will focus on the theme of Kindness.

The presenter will deliver messages of positivity through storytelling, music, magic, and videos. The NED Show has partnered with a school in Kenya. Students will learn that kind heart and caring attitudes can be displayed by students all over the world. As a follow up to this presentation, Rowayton students will have the opportunity to purchase small items and the proceeds will support the students Kenya.

The sales of these items will take place during lunch shifts on Tuesday, May 30 and Friday, June 2. Students can bring cash to purchase items. Items will cost between $8 and $15.
