In an effort to expand students' personal interests and socialization skills, Rosarian is offering a full-range of clubs and extra-curricular activities for students of all ages.  

In addition to art, drama and show choir, computer programming is now available for students in grades 5-8. Students learn simple computer programming using Scratch, a tile-based programming environment and toolkit, which lets you make games, animated stories and create interactive art.

For the first time, an after-school intramural soccer program is available for Children's House students. The 3-5 year old children are learning the positions, rules and fundamentals of soccer, including dribbling, passing, and shooting. 

 

Fourth graders began a new science unit on Electricity and Magnetism. They completed some hair raising and shocking experiments as they learned about static electricity. In the second lesson, they learned how electric circuits work. They were able to use batteries, light bulbs, switches, and motors to investigate the path of electricity in parallel and series circuits. The light bulb is definitely going off in fourth grade! After learning about using electricity safely, the students will be investigating magnetism and how it relates to electricity.

As an enhancement to the Kindergarten curriculum, some of the children read Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel. Students researched frogs or toads and gave an oral presentation to the class as well as answered questions. This literacy-science extension allowed the children to demonstrate their knowledge and ability to thoroughly answer questions. The presenters also made clarifications of any misconceptions classmates might have had regarding frogs and toads. 

Rosarian moms and friends will enjoy a fun night out on April 29th! This fun evening, hosted by Bridget Koch, Sarah Miller & Beth Lang, will start at 6:00 pm at Muvico Theaters in City Place with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. At 7:00 pm, the ladies will enjoy the newest chick flick, "The Other Woman," starring Cameron Diaz.  All Rosarian moms (past, present and future) and their friends are invited to attend.  The $75 donation per person benefits every child at Rosarian Academy.

At Rosarian Academy, the Annual Fund supports our mission of providing a strong Foundation for Life for our students.  It provides unrestricted gifts which may be used for classroom materials, arts or athletic equipment, library equipment, professional development, facility or technology maintenance or upgrades and more.  

All independent schools rely on funds produced by annual giving programs to help close the budget gap between tuition income and the true cost of operating the school each year. Rosarian's Annual Fund enabless us to provide an exceptional learning environment for our students. Every year, approximately $1,200 of the total cost of educating each Rosarian student comes from the Annual Fund and other financial gifts to the Academy. 

This year, the Annual Fund is focusing on our RA Superheroes. Students at RA are learning to be Strong4Life, academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally. The Annual Fund runs from March 1 through May 1, 2014. To donate or find out more about RA Superheroes, visit  www.rosarian.org/superheroes. 

Rosarian Academy, founded in 1925, is a private, coeducational, Catholic school sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Its mission is to educate the whole person for life in a global community in the light of Gospel values.
