Operation Christmas Child: We are proud that Rocky Knoll School has participated in this program for many years. The website samaritanspurse.org/occ is a good resource for ideas for packing and seeing video stories of children whose lives were changed because of receiving a shoebox. There will be instructions inside for packing as well as the sticker that allows you to register your shoebox when you pay $10 so your family can see where in the world your box goes. We need to have your shoeboxes packed and brought to school by Friday, November 22. If your family is not able to pack the shoebox, please return it to your child’s teacher so we can pass it on.
Grandparents’ Day Brunch: Next Friday, November 22, there will be a special program for our students’ grandparents and a brunch. Please return the RSVP by Monday, November 18, so we know how much food to prepare.
RADA Cutlery Sale: Our annual RADA Cutlery Sale begins today. Orders need to be in no later than December 4. These kitchen products make great Christmas gifts. Share the catalog in your workplace, with family and friends. Please make sure that you collect cash or checks written out to RKS. Orders will be filled before Christmas Break. If you do not want to place an order, please return the catalog.
Thanksgiving Break: We will be closed from November 25-29 for Thanksgiving Break. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Citrus Fruit Sale: We will be having our annual citrus fruit sale on Sunday, December 15, from 10 am to 2 pm. Your child will be bringing home an order sheet with prices and products listed. Orders need to be in by Nov. 21. Payment is not due until picking up on December 15.
Smencils: Student Council members will be selling Smencils before school as a fundraiser for $2.00 each on Wednesdays.
Desserts for Sale on Thursdays: We will be selling desserts for $1 each during lunchtime.
