PTA General Membership Meeting
March 17, 2022

Hello Families - please join the PTA for our next general membership meeting on March 17th. We'll be making some important budget decisions, and would love input from as many families as possible. We'll also be talking about board positions and committee chair roles that need to be filled next year. If you've ever wanted to get more involved with the PTA, there's no time like the present!
Virtual Coffee with the Principal

You are cordially invited to our next virtual "Coffee with Mr. Clark" on Thursday, March 10th, at 9:00AM via Teams. All families are welcome, and the topic for this month's coffee will be an overview of our work around Social-Emotional Learning and Well-Being.

Our outstanding counselor, Mrs. Bauer, will be joining us for this important discussion. To join the meeting, please click on the link below at 9:00AM on the 10th.


Take care, and I look forward to seeing you for remote pastries and good conversation on the 10th.

Message from your Rockwell Sustainability Chair

Dear Rockwell Families,

The best part of volunteering in this position is to witness the community coming together to make a difference.

Green Tips
Here is my go-to place to see what can be recycled where Earth 911
Checkout King County's Threadcycle campaign - "Damaged clothes are not garbage anymore." Threadcycle. Value Village is one of their listed drop off sites, and I called to confirm that they accept damaged clothes for recycling.

Legislative Action
Start here - subscribe to weekly emails and "action alert" Action Network

Important Dates
Beginning March 1st, Food establishments in Washington now have the option to allow individuals to bring their own clean containers for refill at grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. Bring your own.

This week, we have Dale Alekel from King County Green Schools program talking at our monthly LWPTSA Sustainability Council virtual meeting on 3/8 at 11AM. Send me an email if you would like to attend it and learn how Rockwell could use their support to earn Green School program compliance and recognition.

Have a great week ahead!

Sustainability Chait, Norman Rockwell PTA
Lunch Recess Volunteers Needed
