Come feast with the Grinch (he promised to behave… kind of).
Food & refreshments will be available for purchase, including:
• Roast Beast (pulled pork)

The image is a bright, festive flyer with a green border promoting a school event called “Grinch Family Fun Night.” At the top, small red text says, “We would love for you to come to our 2nd Annual,” with a small graphic of the Grinch’s green hand holding a red ornament. Below that, large bold green and black text reads “GRINCH Family Fun Night.” Event details follow in black text: “On December 12th @ Roxbury Central School 5:30–7:30 PM.” Centered bold text announces that food and refreshments will be available for purchase, inviting families to “Come feast with the Grinch!” Menu items listed include roast beast (pulled pork), “Who Hash” (mac and cheese), hot dogs (called “Max’s Dogs”), and desserts. The lower half of the flyer features a large cartoon image of the Grinch carrying a decorated Christmas tree over his shoulder while walking. Around the image are playful red captions such as “Prizes & Fun” and “Crafts & Games!” At the very bottom, bright red text states: “All crafts and games are free!” Below that, in black text: “Please consider supporting the Class of 2030 with a donation!” The overall tone is cheerful, holiday-themed, and designed to attract families with children.

❄️ EARLY DISMISSAL ALERT! ❄️
Roxbury Central School will be tapping out early today at 12:30 PM, thanks to weather that’s flinging snow around like it’s auditioning for a winter action movie.

All after-school activities are cancelled, because even the gym looked outside and said, “Absolutely not.”

Head home, warm up, and dodge any overachieving snowdrifts on the way. 💙💛☃️

📚✨ Exciting Author Visit at RCS! ✨📚

We were thrilled to welcome award-winning author Pablo Cartaya to RCS this week! Students had the amazing opportunity to participate in interactive writing workshops where they explored storytelling, creativity, and the power of finding their own voice.

To earn this honor, 75% of the team must hold a GPA of 90+ — and they delivered!

These athletes proved they can get it done both on their respective greens and in the classroom. 🏆📚
We’re so proud of you all. Outstanding accomplishment—keep up the great work!

The players wear matching dark uniforms and hold soccer balls, with coaches standing at each side. Right: A boys’ varsity soccer team stands together in front of another goal, also on a grassy field. They wear dark uniforms with numbers in gold. Bottom center: A smaller group photo shows the varsity golf team standing outdoors in front of a sign and landscaping. They are dressed casually or in school-related athletic clothing. A large, red “A+” graphic appears near the center, symbolizing academic achievement.

The text reads: “Kyle Speenburgh – Varsity Golf.” Below the photos, centered text reads: “Congratulations to the top academic athletes for the fall 2025 season!

🏀 GAME DAY! 🏀
Tonight our GCR JV and Varsity Girls Basketball Teams take on Hunter-Tannersville, and trust us—you’re gonna want a seat for this one.

🕠 JV Tip-Off: 5:30 PM
🕖 Varsity Tip-Off: 7:00 PM

Come pack the stands at the Hunter-Tannersville High School! The girls are ready to play hard, cheer loud, and hopefully not dribble the ball off their own feet (no promises). 😄

Bring your voices, bring your energy, and maybe bring an extra snack because yelling “DEFENSE!” burns calories.

💙🤍 Let’s make some noise, GCR!

❄️ SNOW DAY ALERT! ❄️ School will be CLOSED today due to snow… and because even our parking lot decided to disappear under a fluffy white blanket. 😅 Students: enjoy sleeping in. Teachers: enjoy pretending you’re going to catch up on grading. Everyone: stay warm, stay safe, and resist the urge to build a snowman that looks suspiciously like your superintendent. ⛄😂

A winter-themed illustration shows a gentle snowy landscape under a pale blue sky filled with falling snowflakes. At the top, playful handwritten text reads “hello WINTER,” decorated with small drawn snowflakes. Beneath it, a caption says, “It’s time to enjoy a cup of warm chocolate and the refreshing beauty of snow.” In the foreground, two cheerful snowmen stand on opposite sides. The one on the left has a round, plush-looking body with a carrot nose, button eyes, and twig arms. The one on the right wears a blue knitted hat with earflaps and a matching scarf. Behind them are soft mounds of snow, bare winter trees, and a tiny cottage with smoke curling from the chimney, giving the scene a cozy, quiet feeling.
Due to the weather, RCS is closed 12/2/25. Please be safe.
