Split Rock stepped up once again! Over the last two weeks, students have participated in the Green Day for MDA and a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation! Split Rock Elementary, along with the other elementary buildings in the district, helped raise over $3,400 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. What an amazing experience. Thank you to Onondaga Road Elementary and Colton's Crew for organizing this event. Split Rock followed that up by helping both Mr. Gangemi and Mr. Farfaglia raise over $1,700 for the St. Baldricks Foundation in which, we had some student help for the shaving of their heads yesterday! Job well done, Split Rockers! In April we will be participating in the "Go Blue for Kids" and "Step Up For Kids" campaign with the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center. Be on the lookout for more information to come!

Upon returning from Spring Break, the Other People Matter Mindset for the week of April 5 will be
"Identifying the good in others."
"Identifying the good in others."
If we want our kids to be successful, we have to teach them to build positive relationships. It’s hard to communicate with people. It’s hard to communicate your emotions and feelings. If we can help kids do that now, they’re gonna rise to the top and there’s nothing they can’t do. -Dr. Virginia Hill
Your chocolate orders should have arrived this week. Gertrude Hawk did have to make some unexpected substitutions on a couple items this year, including some of the high-end prizes, which will be substituted with a gift card of similar value. Our Gertrude Hawk representative, Corey Cuneo, is happy to help anyone who is unhappy with what they have received. He can be reached at 800-822-2032 ext. 384 or by email at ckcuneo@gertrudehawk.com.
Thank you for your support of this fundraiser!
Learning Fair:
Our first digital Learning Fair for Grades 3 and 4 will be held during the school day on April 7-9.
Participants will have the opportunity to present to Mr. Kimpland during school and presentations will be posted for everyone to view. We look forward to seeing all of the participant's hard work!
Keep saving your returnable bottles and cans for our April 24 bottle drive. The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the upper Split Rock parking lot.
We are looking for volunteers to help work the event. If you are interested, please click here or email Elaine Heimers-Cook at elaine.heimers@gmail.com and she can direct you to the online signup form.
A few of our key PTO chairpeople have children moving out of Split Rock and we are in need of parents to take over their committees. We truly need your support in order to continue running some of the programs our children love the most. Without volunteers, these programs will no longer be manageable, so please consider volunteering. As a chairperson, you will have a group of volunteers, as well as the PTO board to assist with planning or questions. We are in this together to help provide fun and exciting experience to our students!
