Hello Rockledge Families,
We are excited to share many exciting updates about happenings at Rockledge over the next couple of weeks. We continue to have a great time with your children. Last week we had some amazing Black History Month experiences and celebrated Kindness week. We had an opportunity to show our APPRECIATION to our amazing counseling duo, Ms. Glaze and Ms. Tracy, during National School Counselor's Week.
Continue to read with your Eagles everyday and continue to help us build their excitement for learning.
Your Principal & Assistant Principal,

Come out and celebrate a love of reading with your child!
**We will continue to keep your health and safety a priority by requiring masks being worn while in the school, and rotating sessions in 15-minute increments.**
Winter & Spring Lexia Challenge
Continue to support your young readers at home by providing them time to complete some of their Lexia learning. Please encourage them to be independent.
Other ways to continue to build strong readers is to read with or to your child for at least 20 minutes a day.

Rockledge PTA Updates
Rockledge BoosterThon
Rockledge Elementary School Families!
Our Rockledge Eagle Indoor Glow Run Fundraiser kicked off this week, and we are thrilled about this year’s program!
This year, our entire school is raising funds for new and improved Sensory and Activity Pathways indoors and outdoors, as well as enhancements to the Outdoor Classroom! Our goal is to raise $7,500, and we’re inviting YOU to help!
Be sure to ask your child about the Sports City Worldwide Character Lesson of the Day! It’s a fitness theme all about inspiring students to be active and activate their character. Students will travel the world learning how to live and play with character from REAL kid-athletes.
Register your student, then click the SHARE BUTTON. It’s extremely easy on mybooster.com and takes 30 secs. Your student will receive rewards just for you sharing. It’s a win-win!
Thank you for supporting our school! We can’t wait for the Rockledge Eagles Indoor Glow Run that is happening Next Week!
Sincerely, RKES PTA Boosterthon Team
