ROCKWELL "FIELD DAY" IS COMING!
| |
On your marks! Get set! Go! 
Mark your calendars for Rockwell's annual Field Day which will take place rain or shine on Wednesday, June 10th from 9:30 - 11:15 a.m. K-5 students will participate in a wide variety of fun events that test their endurance and creativity.
We need your help to make this exciting day as fun and organized as possible!
- Event Hosts will receive all materials needed to set up and manage a field event station. Hosts will offer students encouragement and praise for their participation, and assist with station clean up. Host check-in is at 9:00 a.m. in front of the school. Younger siblings are welcome to accompany hosts, just let us know so that we can assign you to an appropriate station. All hosts are required to have a current background check on file with LWSD. Also, let us know if you would like to be paired at your event station with an English-speaking volunteer.
- Water Balloon Fillers will receive 30 small balloons and nozzle via Kid Mail the week prior to field day, and will need to return the filled balloons to school with your student the morning of Wednesday, June 10th. Drop containers will be located in front of the school.
If you can volunteer as an Event Host or Water Balloon Filler please email Laura Drover.
Thank you!
The Rockwell Field Day Team

SCIENCE VAN - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
| |
Calling Parent Volunteers! It's Baaack!!
The Pacific Science Center's excellent "Science On Wheels" school program will be at Rockwell on June 11th & 12th.
This year's  program is titled "Engineering" and we need parent volunteers to facilitate the exhibit area by guiding students through the portable exhibits set up in the library.
If you are able to volunteer for a 2 hour shift (or longer!) please contact Mrs. Weinmeister for more information. It is most helpful if you email the days and times you are available by June 5th. We appreciate your assistance! In appreciation for your help, you will be given passes for free admission to Pacific Science Center exhibits.
**Please remember, as with all Rockwell activities, you must be cleared by a background cheek and be on the LWSD approved volunteer list.
Thank you,
Mrs. Mary Kay Weinmeister
Fifth Grade Teacher

FAREWELL COFFEE FOR PARENTS
| |
School is almost over, and although Rockwellians often go different ways during summer, this year we're saying goodbye to an extra large number of families and volunteers!
In honor of our departing friends, we'd like to invite all parents and community members to our Farewell Coffee on Monday, June 15th, at 8:30am by the flagpole. Much like the "Welcome Back Coffee" held in September, we'll have tables set up just after the last morning bell rings and the kids go off to school, and we encourage everyone to have a cup of Joe and share your Rockwell stories.
Coffee will be provided. If you love to bake, please consider bringing a plate of cookies or snacks to share with other parents!
Let's get together for coffee!
Farewell Coffee hosts.
Parents! We still need a volunteer for Welcome Back Coffee in September! This is an easy way to get involved and network with other parents, and the time commitment is almost negligible. Talk to Emily or Ellie to learn more about this fun Get-To-Know-You event.

CHAIRS NEEDED FOR 2015/2016 PTA PROGRAMS
| |
We've elected our new board for next year and have been filling the remaining chair positions (thanks to those who have agreed to help out), but there are still a number of open positions that need filling!
Chess Club, PTA Reflections (Art), Heritage Night and a few more REALLY need a chair. Chair or co-chair with a friend or two. (Chairing a position does not mean you're on the PTA Board!) We really don't want to cancel these programs, but they can't run without a chairperson(s).
Click here for remaining positions! Thanks for your consideration.
