Holiday Gift Card Drive for Rockwell Families
The PTA is hosting a holiday gift card drive for Rockwell families in need. To contribute, please purchase a $25 gift certificate at Target or Fred Meyer. We chose these specific stores because there are multiple locations nearby, and because families can use the funds to purchase either holiday gifts or grocery items. we are asking for specific denomination ($25) to ensure that we can distribute the cards equally among all the families who need them.
The drive will run December 1st through December 10th. During these dates, please look for PTA volunteers at the car drop-off/pick-up line, at the flag pole, and at the back of the school. PTA volunteers will be at these locations at the beginning and at the end of each school day.
Please place the donated gift cards in an envelope that has the name of your child (or children) on the outside of the envelope - the PTA will write each child's name who donated to the drive on a snowflake located near the office (as a show of thanks for your family's generosity).
Families who need help this holiday season should email the school counselor, Kristin Bauer (kbauer@lwsd.org). Names of families who receive gift card donations will be kept strictly confidential.
Thank you!

Picture Retake Day
Wednesday, Dec 1st
Picture re-take day is on December 1st. Like many businesses, Lifetouch is experiencing serious staffing issues, so not all physical proofs have been returned to families yet.
Our Lifetouch representative has made it clear that anyone who wants to have retakes on December 1st is invited to have their picture taken. Lifetouch is very sorry for the delay in proofs this year.
Picture packages are avaiable - order on mylifetouch.com with your Student's Picture Day ID: EVTQMX2GV

Extra Masks in the Student's Backpacks
November is the rainiest month of the year in Washington State. This means students will be outside in rain more than before and their masks get wet too.
Please have a few extra masks in their backpacks so they can change when needed, and keep track so you can remove used ones as necessary.
Thank you!

Lunch Recess Volunteers Needed
We have an immediate need for parent volunteers to assist with lunch recess. Volunteers are needed to help Monday through Friday, for shifts between 11:40AM and 1:00PM. Volunteers will help coordinate specific recess activities for kiddos during lunch recess.
Specifically, volunteers will help manage a small group of kids for specific games (i.e. red light/green light game, coloring station, loom band crafts, shark/minnows sports challenges, HORSE basketball games, etc.) We'd love to have 4-6 parents helping each and every day. Even if you're not able to help the whole shift, we'd love the extra hands for even half and hour. In case you'd like to coordinate your volunteer shift to align with your child's recess, here's the recess schedule:
Kindergarten: 11:40AM - 12:00PM
1st Grade: 11:50AM - 12:30PM
2nd Grade: 12:00PM - 12:30PM
3rd Grade: 12:10PM - 12:40PM
4th Grade: 12:20PM - 12:50PM
5th Grade: 12:30PM - 1:00PM
This is an on-going volunteer opportunity, and we'd love for you to sign up for one shift, or even a dozen. To volunteer, please sign-up HERE
PLEASE NOTE: You must be an approved LWSD volunteer (you can apply HERE if you're not already a registered volunteer). You also need to verify your vaccination status with the district, or Stacy Hatch in our front office (you must bring your vaccination card and ID).
