"ROCK'in" into March Weekly Update 3/4

We're Back!

It was a great first week back after the Winter Recess! Both staff and students hit the ground running had a phenomenal week! We even had a special guest in Mrs. Forsyth's room participate in a read-aloud to the class! Thank you Mr. Bills for stopping by and visiting!





Masks At School

I would like to commend our Split Rock Wildcats. They have done an exceptional job working through the transition of the mask mandate and the adjustment within the building over the last three days. They have recognized and appreciated the fact that this is a personal choice and have demonstrated a considerate, respectful and supportive culture as we are STRONGER TOGETHER!  


Positivity Project

Next week's Positivity Project Character Strength focus will be SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE! Click here to review the character card on social intelligence for a preview of what our Wildcats will be working through next week!


St. Baldrick's Fundraiser

Mr. Gangemi, Mr. Farfaglia and Mr. Kimpland will be shaving their heads as a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation and childhood cancer research. Tickets were sent home with each student.  For those willing and able to donate, your ticket will be a part of a drawing to win an opportunity to help shave our heads! Donations and tickets to be entered into the drawing are due by March 17. We will be shaving our heads on March 18! This will be carried out as a building-wide event.
