Overview of Rolling Hills School

Show Transcript

Welcome to Rolling Hills where our students are kind, safe, and responsible. I invite you to come grow with us. We have a lot to offer here.  We have our gardens, we have our traditional classes, and our multi-age classes, and we have a lot of emphasis on the arts. At Rolling Hills we offer both Visual and Performing Arts as well as we are in the process of becoming an Arts Conservatory School. The arts are a big part of our campus. It was a part of our motto of Arts Infused Learning.  We offer seven full stage productions.  Just about every child at some point in their career will have the opportunity to experience that. We go through all the process of auditioning, getting parts, learning lines, learning the history behind the play, going through the script, looking for figurative language. The performing arts and the visual arts that we do it's... it's so powerful the learning that our kids experience.  So they learn a lot of the curriculum through the play, but they also learn to be brave and to get onto stage and face their fears and to work together as a team. It's important to get to do art because it's it get your mind going and you feel this creative flow going through your body. I think the arts make a welcoming environment.  It allows for students to be diverse and have diverse interests. The arts program is so helpful. Here at Rolling Hills, we have two pathways to success. The traditional way and the multi-age way. I teach a traditional classroom and what my students get out of that is we have a daily schedule that stays pretty much the same.  We also have a second pathway, it's our multi age pathway.  It is a state-approved multi-age program. One really important part about the multi-age program is how our older students can mentor our younger students.  It's known that teaching someone in the best way to learn. And so the 5th graders get a lot of that and conversely, the 4th graders get a lot out of the 5th graders helping them because they just have a peer who's helping them right at their own levels .  So multi-age is a great fit for those families that are looking for an alternative type learning environment. Our theme is come grow with us for a reason.  The gardens provide our students with the opportunity to understand how we impact our environment.  Some of the classes, like my class, has its own garden right outside so during different times we can go out and actually garden and plant things and watch them grow.  Well, it's important that we get to work in the garden because we do hands-on activities, so we get to learn something while we're doing something fun. The kids learn how to weed, how to plant, how to construct. And the applications to math, to science, to literature, all in these hands-on experiences that very few schools have the opportunity to give. I think the children get out of their gardens the love of nature.  They're just so happy to be in the gardens Our community involvement... it's sort of like the heart of the school.  It's always been a parent volunteer school.  We have an amazing PTA that helps sponsor lots of events for the students and staff and parents.  The parents role is essential in that they are here every day, every week, doing garden stands, digging up the weeds, getting our classes involved and so I think that's what makes Rolling Hills amazing.  The students also learn that when their parents are involved everybody cares about their education. Without those parents, without their support, without their help being here everyday, our school would not be the school it is. I love this school. I love everything about it.  We're going to learn academically, socially, we're going to grow,  build character together.  The feeling of this campus is really loving and warm. There's something about the school that's so special and so unique, that it's irreplaceable. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I want everybody to come to our school because it's so, it's so nice.
