Stock Show Spirit Day!
Yee-haw! Stock Show Spirit Days was a HUGE success thanks to our legacy Red Rocks volunteers, Koda Glider-Wood, Jen Glider (from SMRT horse camps!), and Margs Musson with Seegers Images (see Marg's images below below). Students donned their favorite Western Wear, posed for pictures and shouted a lot of "Howdy Partner" today!

Bear Creek High School is partnering with articulation area schools to support 'Empty Bowls,' a program that is designed to promote both community and art, and aims to raise money for a great cause. Area schools work with students to create many clay bowls. The night of the event, families come to Bear Creek HS and pay a small donation fee for a meal, entertainment, and to take home one of the beautiful student-made bowls.
Our Empty Bowls event will take place on February 7th, 2024 and all proceeds will go to the Jeffco Action Center. If you are unable to join us for the event, but would still like to contribute financially to the cause, please click HERE to donate. Select Bear Creek from the drop down menu and scroll down to Empty Bowls.
Notes from the PTA
Red Rocks Elementary PTA's Board consists of its Officers and Committee Chairs. All of our Officer positions (President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer) are up for election (1 Year Terms) and will be voted on at our March General meeting. Committee Chairs will be voted on in May along with the 24-25 Budget.
While some members of our PTA board are returning, we have several board members who are “graduating” with their children or stepping back from their current roles. Please consider joining our Board as we would love to work with you and bring your ideas to our school. In order to continue offering all that our PTA does, these Officer positions and Committees must be filled each and every year. It truly takes a village to run our incredible volunteer PTA.
Help us continue all the incredible work of our PTA by joining our Board. Please see the Google Form for more information on these rewarding opportunities.
