Community Serve Day at Rockwell
Site Leader Needed

Do you have a heart to serve Rockwell? Community Serve Day is returning to Rockwell in full force this summer! What is it? Community Serve Day is an event where local churches, schools, non-profits and businesses come together for our community and help our schools prepare for the comping year by helping set up classrooms, making improvements to the campuses and more. Much more detail will be coming in the future about this event, but for now, mark August 21 on your calendar to serve at Rockwell.

This year, we have BIG need. Each school served has a site lead who works with the school/district and the sponsoring organization to plan and prepare for the event. Our site lead for years past is moving on, and this will be her last year of Service at Rockwell. As such, we need a parent/community member who is willing to serve a co-site lead this year, with plans to be point of contact and potentially serve as the site lead for future years at Rockwell (the current site lead will still be involved this year, so it's a great opportunity to learn the ropes from someone who has done this for 5 years). The site lead attends meetings with the sponsoring organization, plans projects, does a site walkthrough with the district, and is on-site on the day of the event to make sure everything goes smoothly.

If you are interested in learning more and serving our school, please contact our current site lead, Elaine Bentzinger.

Message from your PTA Sustainability Chair
The best part of volunteering in this position is to witness the community coming together to make a difference

Dear Rockwell Families,

It's Earth Month and I've picked ONE simple task for us to focus on for the entire month. SIGN UP for the Redmond Climate Action Challenge. Let's come together first as a community before we set our eyes on larger goals at school. Let's sign up for the challenge and let the kids take charge of the actions at home. What do you think?
Actions, Redmond Climate Action Challenge

Signing up with the above link will automatically add you to the Beagle Parent Community Group.

I am working on prizes (a green prize of course!).

SIGN UP THIS WEEK TO BE ADDED TO THE DRAWING FOR A PRIZE.

Have a great week ahead!

Sustainability Chair, Norman Rockwell PTA
Heritage Night
Looking for Volunteers

Rockwell Families! Heritage Night is coming back this year in May! This is a FREE event (hosted by your PTA) that the whole family will enjoy. Heritage Night is an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the beautiful and richly diverse cultures and countries of origin in our community.

We are looking for volunteers to help make this evening a success. If you would like to host a booth, perform or help out on the day of the event, please email Mansi at schoolservices@normanrockwellpta.org

Thank you,
Rockwell PTA
