Walk to School Day has passed, but SchoolPool continues through the end of the month!
Help our school earn money by walking, biking, carpooling, or riding the bus to school, and logging your trips on the SchoolPool Calendar. Only
one day of walking, biking, carpooling or riding the school bus is needed to count towards earning money for our school.
At the end of the month, submit signed calendars to receive a prize for the student, and $5 for our PTSA! This is free money for our kids, with up to $1500 (if at least 300 Rockwell families submit their calendar) allotted for our PTSA. All money earned will go directly to school enrichment programs like the STEM Science Fair, Classroom grants for the Toy Maker, School Musical and Science Van.
Thank you all for participating!
