The Rosedale Union School District provides an after school sports program with the help of North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District. Any student that meets the minimum behavioral and academic requirements can chose to participate. Activities offered include volleyball, flag football, basketball and track and field for grades 3-8. The Oral Language Festival is a yearly event in which students may participate in a variety of oral language expressions at the classroom, school, regional and county level. Students chose published literature, in conjunction with the classroom teacher and the school librarian, that can be adapted for oral interpretation.
Students memorize and choreograph gestures to augment the oral interpretation.
Students perform first in their Language Arts classroom. The top three interpretations move on to the District Competition and the top three from the District Competition move on to the Region 1 Oral Language Festival. Student from Norris, Rio-Bravo Greeley, and Fruitvale, as well as Rosedale students, comprise Region 1. The first place winners in each category chosen at the Regional competition advance to the County Oral Language Festival. The purpose of this event is to develop confident, skilled speakers of all students.
