These darling explorers were all smiles on Safari Day in Senior Kindergarten this year. Days like this, where friendship and discovery go hand in hand, are what joyful learning looks like at Rossman.

As the capstone of the Rossman experience, Sixth Grade Graduation is filled with proud smiles, laughter, and heartfelt speeches as each member of the graduating class reflects on their Rossman journey.

Together, we celebrate not only what these students have achieved during their time here, but the kind, confident, and capable young people they have become. What a privilege it has been to watch them grow. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Edible Creations: Cake and Candy Decorating was a fun new offering added to the first week of S.O.A.R. (Summer Opportunities at Rossman). Taught by Rossman’s 4th Grade Teacher Mrs. Smith, campers learned about decorating using fondant, marzipan, candies, and more.

Take a look at some of the edible creations they made!

We're still riding the wave of this special day!

We love opening our doors for all the wonderful grandparents and special guests who join us for Grandparents' Day each year. This year's Making Waves performance was a celebration of the love, encouragement, and support that mean so much to our students and families.

At our final faculty and staff meeting of the school year, we had the privilege of celebrating the retirement of Ms. Julia Sales after 25 years of dedicated service to Rossman School. As a member of our Facilities Housekeeping team, her commitment, work ethic, and kindness have left a lasting mark on our entire school community.

To honor her years of service, Julia was presented with a beautifully engraved necklace as a token of our love and appreciation.

As she begins this well-deserved new chapter, and celebrates her 90th birthday this year, we thank Julia for all she has given to Rossman. Congratulations, Julia, and thank you for 25 wonderful years!

Watching our Senior Kindergarten class take the stage and share their favorite SK memory during graduation was a powerful reflection of just how much they've grown this year.

Through reading groups, writing projects, mathematical discoveries, and countless moments of play and exploration, our SK students have grown into confident learners eager for what's next.

Let's hear it for our SK Class of 2026!

Rossman Players is an after-school program created in partnership with COCA (Center of Creative Arts) where students build confidence, creativity, and collaboration through improvisation and musical theater. This year, they took the stage with a performance of A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS!

Bravo to our talented performers for bringing Frog and Toad’s friendship to life!
