A note from the principal's desk...
We had a great end of our week last week and are very proud of how the students are adjusting to being back to school full time. It's hard to believe that last week was only our 2nd full week of school!
As we enter this next full week and transition to October, we continue to ask you for your partnership with reinforcing THE ROCKET WAY...RESPECT. PRIDE. INTEGRITY. in every situation the students are in, whether they are at school, at a Saturday football or soccer game or at home! These three words have so much power and can really help us in so many parts of our lives!
Please reach out if you have any questions!
Have a great week!
Yours in Rocket Pride,
Scott

A Message from the Foodservice Director
Menu Changes & Supply Chain Disruptions
I hear you and I share your frustrations regarding menu changes. Unfortunately, the changes are not due to my own decision, but rather an inability to obtain the product that is originally on the menu. We are experiencing extreme supply chain disruptions, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the items needed to follow the menu. I notify principals of any menu changes as soon as I am aware of them; please check weekly communications from your building for the most up to date information regarding the menu.
I wish I could say it's going to get better soon, but from everything I have been hearing and everything I have been experiencing, it may even get worse before it gets better. A few manufacturers just announced that they are suspending production of entire product lines until January 2022. I appreciate your understanding as I work through these challenges. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at burrowsc@reeths-puffer.org.
Thank you!

This week's character strength: Open-Mindedness
Looking at this weeks definition, I think we can all take a little bit away: You examine things from all angles and don't jump to conclusions. This is something kids in general struggle with. Take some time to watch this video and talk to your kids about it.
