Recently Mrs. Sutterfield's science lab classes have been hard at work creating their very own Rube Goldberg machines. A Rube Goldberg machine is a chain reaction-type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Usually, these machines consist of a series of simple unrelated devices; the action of each previous action triggers the initiation of the next, eventually resulting in achieving a stated goal. We have enjoyed seeing our students use their imagination and innovation throughout this project and school year.
Roland Public Schools would like to congratulate Mrs. Denessa Dudley, our campus-wide Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Dudley has been teaching for the past 28 and a half years in the Lower Elementary and is a Roland alumnus as well.

Cherokee National Educational Services visited Roland Elementary students in grades 1-5. Students had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Cherokee language as well as learning about Cherokee games. Our students played stickball (closely related to lacrosse), marbles (played with balls rolling toward pins), games of graces (throwing and catching wooden ring with wooden sticks), and chunky (throwing of spears). While it was very interactive, it was great fun to see our kids learn more about the Cherokee culture. RPS sends a giant Thank You to Cherokee Nation and the representatives who taught our students!
Izzy O’Neal will play Tuesday, April 25 at Regionals in Claremore, OK. She qualified as a top 6 individual last week, advancing her on to the next tournament. We are so proud of her! Good luck Izzy!
