Yearbook Cover Contest Congratulations!

Thank you again to all the students who submitted artwork for the Yearbook Cover Contest!

Principal Clark and Associate Principal Gallagher loved looking through the pictures, words and themes in this year's entries. Everyone did an incredible job!

Congratulations to the following 5th graders whose images were selected for the front & back covers.

Front Cover: Shahasra V.
Back Cover: Hussain R.

And of course, all entries will be featured in the Yearbook!
Teacher Birthday Luncheon

Last Thursday the PTA hosted a luncheon to celebrate all of our Rockwell staff birthdays. A huge shoutout to Cydney Knapp for putting so much time and effort into making this luncheon such a success.

Special thanks to Janelle, Sri and Stephanie for jumping in at the last minute to help host. You're all amazing!
Send a Teacher a Valentine

Teachers and staff have been working incredibly hard. This Valentine's Day, let them know how much you appreciate them. For a limited time, when you make a donation to Lake Washington Schools Foundation in a teacher or staff member's honor, we'll put their name on our Virtual Wall of Love, send them an inspirational postcard, or even include a special-edition enamel pin. Your donation supports our work and brightens their day!

Make someone feel special by ordering today at www.lwsf.org/valentine.

Deadline for orders is February 10th.
5th Grade Baby Photos

It's a Rockwell tradition that we include 5th grade student's baby photos in the yearbook. If you'd like to participate in this tradition, please send a baby photo to yearbook@normanrockwellpta.org.

Please send a high/full resolution photo & include your student's name in the filename.

Deadline is March 4th, 2022.

School Spirit Day - Space/Sci-Fi Day
Wednesday, January 26th

Celebrate school spirit by rocking your favorite space and/or science fiction themed threads! NASA shirt? Alien socks? Star Trek hoodie? Let's see it!

What is school spirit day? It's a special day where students show their pride and enthusiasm for their school by dressing up in line with the day's theme.

Spirit Days will be the last Wednesday of each month. For June, it will be the Wednesday before we break for summer.
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).

If you have any questions, please email Sri at volunteering@normanrockwellpta.org
