Yearbooks Available
Yearbooks will be distributed to those students who previously ordered them. If you did not order a yearbook but would like one, please email Yearbook Advisor, Katy Basu at kbasu@rockyhill.org. A limited supply is available on a first come, first served basis.
End-of-Year Clean Up
Classrooms will be cleaned out this week, including cubbies, desks, and so on. Please send your child to school with an extra (sturdy) bag to carry items home. Classroom Teachers will provide further instructions, as needed.
Thank you for Sharing Your Colors!
On behalf of our First Grade students and Mrs. Silva, many thanks to all who contributed used crayons to The Crayon Initiative. The box was brimming with crayons that will be melted down and made into crayons to donate to children’s hospitals!
