Rockbrook Winter Break Challenge, Reading and Math!
This Winter Break we want to encourage kids to keep their reading and math skills sharp. Keeping young minds active will prime them for a successful return in January, and can help get a fast start to the second half of our school year.
To do so, we’re excited to present a Winter Break Challenge for all of our students. From December 22nd to January 6th we are encouraging students to spend twenty minutes a day focusing on reading and math skills. We'll be sending home a record sheet before the break where students can record minutes read. Students can practice their math skills using our online IXL.com resource. Students completing 200 minutes of reading or 200 minutes of math will receive a special incentive. Students completing both double up on their prize!
We hope your family will consider participating. Be sure to check your child's backpack next week!
Congratulations to Mrs. Manzo, recognized as Westside's December Teacher of the Month!
Congrats to Mrs. Martin, winner of the Westside Foundation BRAVO! Award. Way to Go!
Thanks to Community Club for Bringing Nebraska Brass to Rockbrook
Hy-Vee Receipts
Please save your Hy-Vee receipts from September 1-December 31 to help Rockbrook School fund educational needs. Hy-Vee will donate $1.00 for every $200 Hy-Vee receives in receipts. This is not only for groceries but Hy-Vee gas receipts also. Every penny counts and can add up to thousands of dollars. So tell your friends, neighbors, relatives to save Hy-Vee receipts. It's simple and easy! Simply bring all Hy-Vee receipts to Rockbrook School and deposit them into the HyVee red bucket located in the school lobby. Please write your student's teachers name and grade on the receipt. The class who has collected the highest dollar amount in receipts will receive a special prize party. Thank you all for participating in this easy and simple fundraiser.
