Get Ready: The Scholastic Book Fair is Coming to Our Library!

Mark your calendars! The Scholastic Book Fair is returning to our school library from Monday, November 9 through Friday, November 13. Students will have the opportunity to explore hundreds of brand-new titles, popular series, graphic novels, and activity kits to spark their love of reading.

Go Cash-Free with Scholastic eWallet!

Say goodbye to lost cash and loose change by setting up a Scholastic eWallet for your child. It is a safe, completely digital payment method that allows family and friends to add funds directly to your student’s shopping account. Any unspent funds automatically roll into a Scholastic gift card balance for future purchases or online orders.

Visit our school's Scholastic Book Fair homepage to explore the digital flyer and set up your eWallet today.

Thank you for supporting our school library—every purchase earns books and resources for our classrooms!

☀️📚 A Little Library with a BIG Impact at Royall Elementary!

Royall is excited to welcome a bright blue Little Free Library, located near the big oak tree at our car line entrance! The library was installed by Sims Bratton, a former Royall student and current 9th grader at West Florence High School, as part of his Eagle Scout Project. Sims was also joined by several other former Royall students who helped bring this special project to life!

We loved welcoming Sims back to Royall, where he joined our Royall Morning News Show to share more about his project. We are so grateful he chose to give back to the school community that helped shape him!

📖 Want to help? Gently used book donations are welcome! Simply drop them off at the front office. Our 5th graders will also have opportunities to help manage and organize the library.

Thank you, Sims, and all of the former Royall students who helped make this project possible! What a wonderful way to encourage reading and give back to our Royall family and surrounding community. We can't wait to see this little library make a BIG impact! ☀️💙📚

☀️💙 Royall APT needs your help on Monday, November 16! We are looking for volunteers to help make both of our upcoming celebrations extra special for our students!

We will be hosting a Read-A-Thon Inflatable Party for students in the morning and an SC READY Celebration Inflatable Party for our 4th and 5th grade students in the afternoon.

Whether you can help for one party or both, we would greatly appreciate your time and support! Our volunteers make these special experiences possible for our students.

☀️💙 Principal for the Day: Cassady McCormick!

We had a very special day at Royall Elementary as Cassady McCormick, a second grader in Mrs. Riley’s class, stepped into the role of Principal for the Day! Cassady earned this exciting opportunity by being our top Read-A-Thon fundraiser for the second year in a row! What an accomplishment!

Cassady had a busy day experiencing many aspects of school leadership! She helped lead our Read-A-Thon dance party celebrations, joined in on the fun as Mr. Rogers took pies to the face, visited classrooms to observe learning, appeared on the Royall Morning News Show, and got a firsthand look at the many responsibilities involved in keeping our school running smoothly.

We loved having Cassady take on this special role and experience a day in the life of a principal! Congratulations, Cassady, on another outstanding Read-A-Thon accomplishment! ☀️💙

☀️📚 Congratulations to Liza Larrimore, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Fennewald’s class, for earning 2nd place in our Royall Read-A-Thon Fundraiser! 🎉 Liza will receive a $100 Sky Zone gift card as a reward for her outstanding efforts and support of our school!

We are so proud of Liza and appreciate her enthusiasm for reading and helping Royall SHINE BRIGHT! ☀️💙💛

🎉📚 Our Read-A-Thon Dance Party was held today to celebrate the students who qualified through their fundraising efforts! Students enjoyed music, dancing, and lots of fun as we celebrated their hard work and support of our school. We had a wonderful time celebrating our amazing readers! ☀️💙

🥧😂 Mr. Rogers was a great sport today as he took multiple pies to the face as part of our Read-A-Thon fundraiser incentive! One lucky student from each grade level had the opportunity to throw a pie, along with our Principal for the Day, making the fun even more special! Students who qualified through their fundraising efforts enjoyed watching the excitement and celebrating their hard work. What a memorable and FUN way to celebrate the success of our Read-A-Thon! 📚☀️

🐔🏈 Show Your Team Spirit by Helping Others! 🧡💜❤️

Royall is joining in on some friendly Carolina vs. Clemson competition while making a difference in the lives of others! From November 2–17, we are collecting non-perishable food items to support the Salvation Army Food Bank. Donations may include canned goods, juice boxes, baby food, boxed items, peanut butter, and jelly.

Students can bring their donations to school and place them in either the CAROLINA or CLEMSON donation box!

Let's see which team can show the most generosity! Remember, it's not just about making a donation; it's about making a difference!
