Great Kindness Challenge
This year at Rockbrook we are trying something different with the "Great Kindness Challenge."
Instead of receiving individual checklists, classrooms will be encouraged to complete as many of the tasks as possible together. Therefore each class has been given a list of 25 tasks to complete. Next week, students will be challenged to complete 5 tasks each day with their classmates. Teachers will choose 5 tasks daily for their students to complete with the goal that all 25 will occur sometime during the week. Here's the list of 25 tasks students are being challenged to complete.
The original list with all 50 tasks can be found at https://thegreatkindnesschallenge.com/tools-2/.
Thanks for supporting this awesome program of Kindness!

Lunch Times
Joining your child for lunch is a fun and enjoyable tradition that Rockbrook is pleased to support when your schedule allows. For this purpose we have designated a guest table during our lunch period where you and your child can share a meal and each other’s company. To ensure that there is enough space for our out-of-school guests we ask that families eat with their own children only. When room allows, guests may also sit at the regular lunch table with the class. If you would like a school lunch, please make your reservation with the office before 9 a.m.
