Introducing the Gold Rush Spirit Rock

How Does The Spirit Rock Rental Work?

As many of you know, this school year is Gold Rush Elementary's first year offering a Spirit Rock to rent. There have been some questions as to how to reserve dates, pay for the rental, and what a rental includes. Renting the rock is an opportunity to express well wishes, happy birthdays, and celebrate personal accomplishments for your kids (or teachers).

All rentals need to be requested through the sign up genius to ensure that dates are available. Dates through the end of the school year are currently available. Rentals must be paid for using MySchoolBucks and the date(s) reserved should be listed so that we may match reservations with payments. Lastly, PLEASE take a moment to read through the guidelines and tips document.

It is important to note - PTO does not paint the rock for you. Your $20 rental fee covers the time the rock is dedicated to your student, as well as tarps to protect surrounding landscaping, and gray paint in case we need to cover anything inappropriate or "reset." Rock rentals for teachers are free! Any families experiencing hardship that wish to rent the rock can contact the main office and we will waive rental fees.

The Spirit rock is located on the northwest side of the school, our new spirit rock is available for daily rental to celebrate, acknowledge, and support our amazing school community. Please click here for guidelines, or visit GREPTO.org for details.
