Monday our 21st Century after-school program students participated in a special Camp Cook session. They made their own smoothies, received their Camp Cook Completion certificates, and took home goody bags.
It was a great way to celebrate their effort and learning—students had a really good time.
Don't Forget! Our morning bell rings at 7:00am, and the school day begins promptly at 7:20am when the late bell rings. If you arrive for drop-off and there are no staff members on the sidewalk, please park and walk your child in to check them in as they are counted tardy. Thank you for your help in ensuring that students are present for the full instructional day!

This talented breakdancing group amazed everyone with their spins, flips, and high-energy moves while also teaching students about hip hop culture and rapping. Along the way, students learned how creativity, rhythm, and practice all come together in dance and music.
Thank you to the Raleigh Rockers for bringing the energy and inspiration to Rocky Point Elementary!
We're less than a month away from April 2nd - our K/1 Spring Performances and K-5 Field Day! We are in need of more volunteers for field day, so please consider signing up to help. Some of the games we need help with are:
“Capture the Cone”
“Never Ending Tag”
“Water Party”
“Sponge Relay”
“Crab Soccer”
“Kool Zone”
“Drip, Drip, Drop”
“Parachute”
We have a few water games that we will definitely need parent help with, especially with help refilling the water buckets as needed. If you help with a game, your main job will be to help monitor the game (the classroom teachers will be there as well) and to help rest the game in between groups. It's a great way to volunteer and help our students have the best day possible!
If you're interested, you can sign up using this link or send in the form that was sent home with students last week. Thanks for your help!

¡Estamos a menos de un mes del 2 de abril - el día de las presentaciones de Kinder y 1o y el Día de Campo de Kinder a 5to! Necesitamos más voluntarios para el día de campo. ¡Por favor considere apuntarse para ayudar! Algunos de los juegos que necesitan voluntarios son:
"Captura el Cono"
"Toca y Vete Interminable"
"Fiesta de Agua"
"Carrera de Esponja"
"Fútbol Cangrejo"
"Zona Fresca"

Tenemos varios juegos de agua donde definitivamente necesitaremos ayuda de los padres, especialmente para ayudar a llenar cubetas de agua cuando sea necesario. Si ayuda con un juego, su trabajo principal será ayudar a cuidar el juego (habrá maestras con cada grupo de estudiantes) y ayudar a reiniciar el juego entre cada grupo. ¡Esta es una gran oportunidad para ser voluntario y ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a tener el mejor día posible!
Si usted está interesado/a, puede registrarse usando este enlace o regrese el formulario que se mandó a casa con los estudiantes la semana pasada. ¡Gracias por su ayuda!
