ROCK'in Into March!

 

Green Day for MDA

We are excited to announce our upcoming participation in Green Day for MDA!  In support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and our friends living with neuromuscular diseases, we are on a mission to increase community awareness and hopefully make a donation to help fund research for a cure. Click here for some information from Colton’s Crew.  Colton is a fourth-grade friend at Onondaga Road! March 17th is a perfect day to go green!  Each class will have the opportunity to march around the sidewalk down to the lower parking lot for all the neighbors to see, and any spare change or dollars students might like to donate can be dropped into the green bucket at the school door on their way out to Lap the Loop!  For more info on MDA click here to watch this Brain Pop Video. Thank you for your support.

Remote Materials Pick Up:

A PICK UP for Remote Student Materials has been scheduled for Thursday, 3/18 from 3:00-4:00 pm in the office. In addition, on 3/18 PLEASE RETURN the following materials listed below according to your student’s grade level.

A message from Mr. Gangemi and Mr. Farfaglia:

WANT A CHANCE TO HELP SHAVE OUR HEADS???

Once again this year, Mr.Farfaglia and I will be shaving our heads for St. Baldrick's in order to raise money for childhood cancer research. Students will be encouraged to make donations in order to earn a chance at helping Mr. Farfaglia and I shave our heads. Bring in a cash donation with your ticket in an envelope and give it to your teacher in order to be entered in a drawing by Wednesday, MARCH 24th. On Wednesday, March 24th, Mr. Farfaglia and I will each be picking a student name out of a hat to see who will help with the head shaves!

If would like to join in and donate online, here are our links!

Split Rocker's At Work and Play!

Reading Rocks! 

Our Split Rocker's really think outside of the box and find the most unique and creative places to read! Check out some of our students taking time to make reading time fun!

Positivity Project: Social Intelligence:

Social intelligence means that you are aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You understand why they do things. It refers to a person’s ability to understand and manage interpersonal relationships and is distinct from a person’s IQ or “book smarts.” It includes an individual’s ability to understand, and act on, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of other people. This type of intelligence can take place “in the moment” of face-to-face conversations but also appears during times of deliberate thinking. It involves emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
