Round Lake Charter

International Week at Round Lake Charter!
We’re excited to celebrate the many cultures that make our world so vibrant during International Week, October 14–17! Each day, students will enjoy delicious dishes inspired by different countries. From Mexico’s taco bar and Italy’s pizza with Caesar salad to Asian-inspired favorites and a classic American cookout. This week is a wonderful way for our Dolphins to explore global flavors while learning about the diversity that connects us all.

These students enjoyed cookies and milk with the principals.

Let’s give a big round of applause to these students for being role models and shining examples of what it means to be a Dolphin!

Sending a HUGE shout of thanks and gratitude to Carter’s Ace Hardware for their generous pine bark mulch donation! RLC's middle school environmental stewardship elective's “grocery row garden” was completely overrun with weeds this spring. To combat this issue, the students collected boxes on campus, broke them down, removed the tape, and covered the weeds. Then they spread a 3” thick layer of mulch over the cardboard, using 90 bags in total!  This herbicide-free organic method smothers the weeds and lets the good soil microbes flourish. Now the garden beds will be ready for new vegetables in the fall. The grocery row garden is a concept popularized by “David the Good,” and is basically a food forest in a controlled garden setting. 

Governing Board meeting June 3 - the agenda will be posted to our website prior to the meeting
