We have a new VP of Events!  Many thanks to Rockwell parent Jennifer Myrick for stepping up to plate. 

 

That said, she really needs some chairs/co-chairs to help make our fun family events happen this year!  If we have no chairs, the events will need to be canceled. Please consider chairing/co-chairing one of the events!

3rd-5th grade students will be able to participate in a bike safety unit during their PE time. Helmets are provided and have a disposable liner for safe hygiene. Students are encouraged to bring their own helmet on their PE days. Our focus will be on learning safe riding practices and rules of the road. 

 

**I could use parent volunteers this week. WEDS is the last day of the bike unit! Please sign up here if you can volunteer!
