West Seattle schools: Roxhill’s on a roll

| West Seattle news | West Seattle schools | Westwood

When Mayor McGinn visited West Seattle’s Westwood neighborhood last Sunday (WSB coverage here), Roxhill Elementary got a shoutout from Maggie Anderson, who works on some of the programs there. She wanted him to know it’s a school that’s working hard to keep growing and improving, and also needs some community TLC. This afternoon, we have some Roxhill news – head teacher Christopher Robert says students were treated to an artistic-cycling assembly at day’s end. His photo shows the guests, Corinna, Stefan and Lukas from the Radsport Cyclists, whose sport combines cycling and ballet. Plus – Roxhill is planning the school’s first-ever fundraising gala for May 12th (at Twist in Belltown); and they’ve just jumped onto Facebook (“like” Roxhill here) and Twitter (@roxhillsea).

I adore Roxhill. What a warm and dedicated community. Their principal, Carmela Dellino, is a force to be reckoned with. She makes a point to connect with kids in a way that is up close and personal. I have personally witnessed her greeting huge groups of kids by name. The staff at the school, like teachers everywhere, work tirelessly to not only educate, but to truly connect with kids in a really authentic way. I think it’s a pretty special school. Go Roxhill!

I totally agree with iheartRoxhill, it is a wonderful school where our daughter has only flourished each and every year. I have seen on many times the kids run to Carmela or another staff member and be greeted by a hug and a caring and undertanding attitude. The staff at Roxhill truly works hard each and everyday to make sure that each and every stuent succeeds n and feels special.

Sorry, comment time is over.
