Teacher Appreciation Week
May 2-6 is Teacher Appreciation Week!
Families - Teacher Appreciation Week (TAW) is just around the corner! Your PTA has been hard at work planning a full week of gratitude and celebration for our amazing Rockwell teachers. We need your help to make sure we have funds to pull off all the exciting things we have planned. Please click HERE (It's step #3 in the welcome packet) to donate to the Annual Beagle Contribution (ABC) fund. We're hoping to earn an extra $100 from each individual class to support all the activities we have planned.
Please also mark your calendars for May 1st. We're inviting all Rockwell families to join us at that afternoon as we decorate each teacher's parking spot with special messages from the kids, and leave notes of appreciation around the school with sidewalk chalk. Watch your kids' Friday folders for a special note from the PTA highlighting all the things we have planned for teacher appreciation week. Want to get involved?
