St. Mary Rockwood Rocket Review
April 15, 2015 | Volume 2, No. 31
Congratulations to our 2nd and 4th Graders who won 1st and 2nd place respectively in our Reading Month Challenge! They will be attending the 1:08PM Tigers game on Friday, April 17! Look for permission slips to go home today. We read over 100,000 pages collectively and will celebrate when Mrs. Stager spends a day working on the roof of the school!!!
Pot of Gold Raffle Tickets are due back in the office by April 23. Thank you for your cooperation!
Time for the Book Fair! Our Buy One, Get One Free book fair is a great time to stock up on books for your child to read for the summer! Look for a flyer to come home from school this week.
Uniform Note: After Easter, girls should start wearing skirts on mass days. Thank you!
