Dear Rock Ridge Community,
We just wrapped up DCHS’s Feeder Wish Week
for JT, a student diagnosed with fibrolamellar
hepatocellular and currently attends Flagstone
Elementary. Rock Ridge students, staff, and
community raised $1,938.58 for JT’s Wish Week,
adding to the overall total over $50,000 that was
raised by the entire DCHS feeder system. Thank
you also much for participating and helping his
dream come true.
I wanted to recognize a local business, Chef
Curry’s Cuisine, who was gracious enough to
feed the Rock Ridge staff during our professional
development day on January 18th. The staff had a
difficult decision on what to have for lunch,
choosing between Herb-Roasted Chicken and
Butternut Squash and Italian Beef Stew. Chef
Curry offers a healthy, customized menu for
families who need a break from making dinner for
the family. Chef Curry buys the groceries,
prepares the food, and does all the clean-up as
well. Check out his website and thank him for
supporting the Rock Ridge elementary staff.
The PTO silent Auction Spaghetti Dinner (March 1st, 2019,
5:00-7:00pm) is quickly approaching and every year one of
the items that we give away is a brand-new bow from
Diamond Archery. The Diamond Edge SB-1 Breakup
Country with Package sells for $400.00 but it can be yours
if you have the winning ticket. This is a great bow that can
be used by either an adult or child with a draw weight range
from 7-70 lbs. Tickets are on sale now, $5 for one ticket or
$20 for five tickets. All proceeds go towards the archery
club. A winner will be drawn at the PTO Silent Auction and
you do not need to be present to win. Plan on joining us for
a fun filled night with lots of cool stuff to bid on and an
awesome spaghetti dinner. ($10-entire family) After a long spell, we finally
had poor enough conditions for
the school district to call a
“delayed start” for our school
day. In case you have
forgotten, when the district has
a delayed start, Rock Ridge
elementary will have first bell
at 10:00am with doors opening
at 9:50am. BASE will also be on a 90-minute delay and all morning activities are
cancelled as is morning pre-school classes and ½ day am kindergarten
classes. Breakfast will also not be served. Please be sure that your children are well
bundled and are not dropped off or sent to school any earlier than 9:50am. If the
weather was severe enough to result in a delayed start, then your child could be
placed in jeopardy should you bring/send them to school any earlier.
Should you have any questions, concerns or celebrations, please feel free to contact
me. I look forward to hearing from you as we set our eyes on spring.
Sincerely,
Peter Mosby, Principal
