The Rocket Review
November 1-5
Bi-Monthly Updates and Reminders:
Teacher Workday: Tuesday, November 2, 2021
Kindergarten Field Trip: After a year and an half, students were able to go on their first field trip to Naylor Family Farm! Our kindergarteners had a wonderful time and came home with their very own pumpkin! We are excited to see things headed back to somewhat normal where learning can be fun and engaging outside of the classroom!
Spirit Night:
We hope to see you at Papa Murphy's in Fuquay anywhere from 12:00-8:00pm on Wednesday, November 3! Tell them you're with Fuquay-Varina Elementary School PTA when you order! See flyer below for more details!
Boosterthon:
The PTA has adopted "Boosterthon" lite for this year's fundraiser. The fundraiser will run from November 15-23rd. On November 23rd, we will have a school wide DANCE PARTY (no lap running). As soon as we receive more info, we will let you know! Want to be involved? Contact hunters0927@gmail.com .
Student Early Check Outs:
Thank you for helping to keep students in school this week and in our past few weeks. We have had fewer early checkouts and more success with learning in the afternoon. Way to go!

5th Grade Service Project
Volunteer Opportunity!
We would LOVE your help!
Our instructional assistants are being pulled to cover classrooms and already cover lunch duty. Would you be willing to volunteer some time 1x (or more) a week to help in the cafeteria? You would walk around and encourage students to eat, keep things clean, and help with supervision!
If You're Willing:
1. Make sure you are a registered volunteer! Come by during school hours to sign up in our Media center if you haven't already.
2. Be ready to wear a mask while you are on campus!
3. Please be on time:) so the coverage is helpful!
4. If you can, sign up for a buddy slot to help another grade level.
Your 45 minutes to 1.5 hours will change our day and help us keep focused on teaching and learning! This would be a life changer!
Sign up here ONLY after you have Volunteer Clearance Status!
Email Mrs. Johnson after signing up online at hmjohnson@wcpss.net to check to see if you're cleared to volunteer.
