For two weeks in November, Children Service Organization (CSO) at Roaring Brook ran a special collection. One of our wonderful night custodians, Oscar Cifuentes, brought a great project to CSO. He shared information about a group called Rayo de Luz (Ray of Light) that collects items for those in need in the mountains of Guatemala. CSO put up posters around the school and created announcements to share on our daily news channel. We collected dental supplies (toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.) and school supplies. Oscar's family paid the postage to mail out the items donated and Rayo de Luz will deliver them to those who need them. The CSO students learned a great deal from this project. 

At Roaring Brook School's annual Thanksgiving Sing assembly, a special moment took place: the debut of the RB Lion mascot! The honor of bringing the school’s new mascot to life was given to fourth-grader Yusef Wahba. This unique opportunity is reserved for fourth-grade students who are active members of the Student Council, highlighting their leadership and school spirit.

The Student Council at Roaring Brook is known for showcasing pride, responsibility, and strong leadership skills, and Yusef’s participation is a testament to that commitment. Students and staff alike can look forward to seeing the RB Lion at various school events throughout the year, adding even more excitement and school pride to each occasion. Stay tuned for more appearances from our spirited new mascot!

The Roaring Brook Fall Art Challenge, inspired by The Hidden Gem by Linda Liu, invited artists to create a "hidden gem" that reflects their unique personality.

On November 23, 2024, Horace Greeley High School hosted the New York Metro Regionals for the National History, Geography, and Science Bees, where Roaring Brook students shone brightly. Congratulations to our fourth graders.
