Joining Royalview Elementary as the assistant principal is Gillian Pugliese. Many in the district will recognize Gillian because she was instrumental in providing support to staff members and students as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Through professional development, coaching and modeling, she helped implement proactive behavioral, social, communication, functional and education-based programming across our district. Her commitment to being collaborative, empathetic, a good listener and a good communicator will enable her to be successful with students, staff and families.

The generosity of our local community members continues to warm our hearts!
Pete Maurath is an avid cyclist. He was interested in helping children in our community who might not have a bicycle to enjoy this summer and perhaps would like to ride to school one day. He has been hard at work refurbishing bicycles that he donates to our schools, and then they are distributed to students.
This first round of ten bikes were donated to Edison, Jefferson, Longfellow and Royalview. More bicycles will be available this summer.
Thank you so much, Pete, for helping our students be on the move safely!

Burlington Stores celebrated their grand opening at their new location in Willoughby Hills by donating $5,000 to Royalview Elementary School through AdoptAClassroom.org. This program helps principals and other school administrators fundraise for important school-wide projects and initiatives that cannot be met through other funding sources, powering today’s classrooms to prepare tomorrow’s graduates.

We had a blast as our special education resource rooms tuned into the power of music therapy!
Students in classes at Royalview were all smiles as they explored new rhythms and melodies. It wasn't just about making music, it was about building confidence, improving motor skills, and finding new ways to communicate and connect.
Seeing the joy and engagement on their faces was truly the highlight of our week! A huge thank you to the therapists for bringing this wonderful experience to our halls.

Our 5th-grade students had a "pro-level" experience this past week! We were honored to welcome a very special guest speaker: NFL Offensive Lineman Juice Scruggs, who also happens to be the proud uncle of our very own Iliana Morgan.
Juice, who was recently traded to the Detroit Lions, took time out of his off-season to visit with our students and share his inspiring journey. He spoke candidly about:
*The vital importance of staying in school and focusing on academics.
* How making good choices today shapes your opportunities tomorrow.
* His personal story of perseverance and the hard work it took to reach the NFL.
It’s not every day you get to learn life lessons from a professional athlete! A huge thank you to Juice Scruggs for investing in our students for this memorable visit.
