End of September Notes

We have had a great month here at RMJHS!  It's hard to believe that the first six weeks is almost over!  The first six weeks will end on Monday, October 1st, and report cards will be sent home on Thursday, October 4th. 

October looks to be a very busy month for us at Rock Mills.  We will start out with PTO on Tuesday, October 2nd.  There will be a business meeting followed by a program from our 4th grade class.  We will have sign-up sheets for volunteers and cakes for the Fall Festival, so please plan to attend.  Also on October 2nd is the Vision Screening for Kindergarten and 2nd Grade students.

Our fundraisers have been a huge success, and I would like to congratulate Brittany Prescott on being the top seller and receiving an iPod Nano.  We actually had a tie for our second place sellers, and Malia Brown and Chase Butler both received iPod Shuffles.  The 5th grade class won the pizza party for the top class sales.  Homework Passes and Free Play days will be given out or announced next week.   

The fundraisers came from two different vendors, and therefore, the delivery dates will be different.  The Butter Braids are scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, October 2nd.  I will be available for pick-up of these items from the lunchroom beginning at 2:00 p.m. on October 2nd through the PTO program at 6:00 p.m. that evening.  Please make plans to pick up your Butter Braids on that date.  We should be able to send most orders of the  Mixed Bag Designs home with the students, but I will make an announcement regarding that pick-up as soon as I am given a confirmed delivery date. 

October is Parent Involvement Month, so I encourage all parents/guardians to attend Parenting Day on Monday, October 8th.  Teachers will be available for conferences between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. that day. 

We are currently accepting donations for Fall Festival items.  The Fall Festival is scheduled for Saturday, October 13th from 5:00-8:00 p.m.  We are asking for 2-liter drinks for ring toss and sign-up for cakes for the cake walk.  Bingo prizes are always welcome, too.

Thanks for helping us have a great month!
