"ROCK'in" Weekly Update 10-29

Fun Fall Frenzy

It has been a great week at "The Rock," as we carried out our Fun Fall Frenzy Week! We indeed demonstrated some great school pride, some wild tie-dye clothing, and we certainly can't forget about the wacky hair and crazy hats we've seen from our students and staff so far this week! We end our Fall Frenzy week tomorrow with Halloween/ Fall Attire (no costumes please). Below are a few snapshots of our Wildcats celebrating throughout the week!

Transportation Staff Appreciation Day

The West Genesee transportation staff has been working diligently to get our students to and from school safely each day. On Tuesday, November 2nd, the West Genesee District Council and district PTAs/PTOs will sponsor an appreciation day for our transportation staff. Dunkin' Donuts coffee and donuts will be provided in the transportation department as a token of appreciation. Parents and students are also encouraged to share their gratitude for transportation staff members with signs, cards, handwritten notes, or just saying "thank you" as you board the bus or drive by in the drop-off/pick-up lines at school that day. Let's show our Wildcat transportation staff how much we appreciate them!
