• Rockwell's PTA programs such as field trips, enrichment programs, classroom grants and much more rely heavily on our parents submitting their PTA donations (such as Pass the Hat) for corporate matching! Many companies have a matching program (such as Microsoft an many others) so please don't delay and get your donation matched asap!  

• Additionally, lots of companies will pay our school for your volunteer hours spent here. If you're unsure, please check with your H.R. department.

Parent volunteers are needed to assist with Rockwell's Vision and Hearing Screening Day on Thursday, January 15th.  No experience is necessary.  School nurses from the district will train parent volunteers in screening.  A school nurse will recheck any child with a questionable screening result.  The only requirements are your time, willingness, and being an approved volunteer with the district.  

We are in need of volunteers for a morning shift (8:15-11:15am) or an afternoon shift (11:45am-2:30pm), or come for the full day (8:15am-2:30pm) for double the fun!  

Save the date! Heritage Night will be held January 22, 2015

Many Thanks to Ariane Newell for stepping up to chair this event!  

We still need volunteers and families to sign up for individual booths. This event encourages both students and their parents to share their cultural cuisine, traditional dress and honored customs. Families bring food, share music, pictures and literature from their country . It is a chance to celebrate the global diversity that exists within our school community. It is also a rare opportunity for our children to gain a better understanding and appreciation of what life is like outside of the U.S.  Heritage Night provides an excellent opportunity to educate children about the importance of being global citizens.
 

Please consider signing up to volunteer and participate in this event.  You can contact Ariane Newell to sign up. Don't delay as this event is coming up quickly!
