Save the date for Roslyn's annual tie dye fundraiser! This event is set to take place on Tuesday, September 30th. Each year, the PTO designs a shirt to fit the theme picked for the upcoming school year. The 2025-2026 theme is Rock N' Roslyn. By purchasing your child a shirt, they will get the opportunity to tie dye their shirt during the school day on 9/30. This event has become a Roslyn tradition over the years--students have even been known to wear their shirts on field day at the end of the school year. Please purchase your shirt no later than September 1st. Sign up information coming soon!
Please note that if creating a t-shirt will be a financial concern for your family, please reach out to your child's classroom teacher or to Mr. Kirk at pkirk@barrington220.org.
