PTA Message
Hello Dolphin families! In this season of thankfulness, we are grateful for our engaged students, amazing teachers and staff, supportive families and wonderful community. Warmest wishes to you and your family on this Thanksgiving!
Let the color games begin!!
We're so excited to about our only major fundraiser: Anython Color Battle! Anython is a local company and will be at Rosa Parks for 2 weeks teaching our students about leadership and fitness. During the Anython Fundraiser, students will be challenged to get donations to raise money for our school.
We kick off our Color Battle fundraiser Monday, November 27th with a fun-packed Pep Rally and each student will receive an Access Code and Pledge Sheet (pictured above) )to enter and track donations online. Students are challenged to get donations over the next 2 weeks from family and friends to help our school
