Rota Elementary SchoolA Weekly Communication for December 9th, 2024 |
Principal's Message |
|
Toro Families,
As we approach the holiday season, I would like to share the upcoming events and activities happening at Rota Elementary School. This newsletter includes valuable opportunities for our students and families to participate in and enjoy together.
We invite you to join us for the School Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting on December 10th. Your input is important as we work together to enhance the educational experience for our students. We also have holiday concerts and a Holiday Spirit Week planned, where everyone can join in the fun and showcase their holiday spirit.
Additionally, I encourage you to take advantage of our new Lego Robotics Clubs, which are aimed at fostering creativity and teamwork among our students. Don’t forget about the "Fill Your Bag" book checkout event, which offers a chance to stock up on books for winter reading.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. I wish you and your families a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season.
Warm Regards,
Ken Kirk Principal
