Rosewood Magnet School

Ms. Britner’s class is diving deep into history as they explore the Aztec civilization! 🏛️ From powerful emperors and ingenious chinampas to rich traditions and remarkable achievements, our students are uncovering how the Aztecs built a thriving society that still inspires us today.

Fifth grade recently finished reading Don Quixote, and while the windmills may be behind them, the thinking certainly isn’t. At the end of the novel, Don Quixote dies and Samson Carrasco pens his epitaph. Using that moment as inspiration, students in Ms. Davidson’s class dug into Don Quixote’s character traits and wrote their own epitaphs to honor the Knight of the Woeful Countenance.

Our 2nd grade students delivered a delightful performance of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas under the direction of Ms. Palmer. Their hard work, confidence, and holiday spirit truly shined—proof that a classic never goes out of style, especially when young voices bring it to life. 🎄✨

Giggles the Elf brought holiday cheer to Rosewood today! #MySDIRC

Ms. Napier’s second graders enjoyed a classic tale with a hands-on twist. After reading The Gingerbread Man, students worked in collaborative groups to design and build bridges that could get him safely across the river—proving that a good story still pairs nicely with good old-fashioned problem-solving.

Ms. Gilmore’s 6th grade students put their persuasive skills to work, using rhetorical strategies to craft and perform their own commercials

Our staff jumped into spirited Reindeer Games this afternoon, clearing out classroom items that have served us well and are ready to retire—just in time for our upcoming move. A little friendly fun worthy of Santa’s approval. 🎄📦

Our elves have been assisting Santa with our Angel Tree to help ensure a merry holiday season for several of our students. Thanks to their kindness and the generosity of our staff, a little extra magic is making its way into many homes this season. 🥰

I’m one lucky Assistant Principal! I truly love my school family and the thoughtful things they do that make this season so special. From kind words and shared laughs to special surprises—like walking into my office suddenly glowing with holiday lights—it’s the everyday moments that remind me why this place feels like home. Tradition, togetherness, and heart… that’s what makes this the most wonderful time of the year. 🎄✨

Our PTA hosted the most pawsome Holly Jolly Night! Families filled the campus with cheer as they enjoyed festive crafts, merry activities, and—of course—a visit from the big guy himself. Santa didn’t just stop by… he made it official: our school is proudly on the Nice List this year. Holiday spirit, community pride, and timeless traditions—what a night!

The Woot Wagon rolled in and was an instant hit! Huge thanks to our amazing PTA for spoiling the staff with treats, supplies, and all the little essentials that make the school day run smoother than a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil.

Students in Mrs. Zwemer’s 3rd grade class explored the three levels of government today—building big understanding one branch at a time.

Students in Mr. Daulby’s 4th grade class celebrated leveling up! Their hard work and growth were on full display as they reached new milestones

Ms. McDonough’s second graders explored the fascinating life cycle of butterflies! From tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies, students learned about the magic of metamorphosis. 🌱➡️🐛➡️🦋

We are thrilled to announce that our very own 1st grade teacher and grade chair, Mrs. Zehr, has been named a Top 5 Finalist for this year’s Teacher of the Year! Her dedication, heart, and steady leadership continue to lift our school higher every day.

Morning announcements with Mr. Faust and our 6th Grade Ambassadors always set a positive tone for the day—bright smiles, clear voices, and just the right spark to get everyone going.
