"Caring in the Family ~ If you would be loved, love and be lovable."
Benjamin Franklin
This is a reminder to all parents, especially those with students entering 7th grade in Fall of 2008.
•A dose of Td (tetanus) is required for all students entering 7th Grade.
•A dose of Varicella (chicken pox) is required for all students entering 7th Grade (unless your child has had the chicken pox disease, in which case a parent’s signature is required on the child’s immunization record).
This MUST be done to start school. It is unavoidable. Once the vaccines are obtained, please bring this information to your child’s 6th grade school.
Laurel Apgood, School Nurse
As of May 1, students will no longer be able to charge a breakfast or lunch meal. Please make sure that your student has sufficient money in his/her account or send a home lunch with your student. This will help avoid the situation of having to deny a student a meal. Thank you for your cooperation.
Mrs. Sears—Lunch Secretary
Please let the office know if you are moving and will not be attending Rock Canyon next year.
Be sure to check out our Lost and Found collection before the school year is over. Any items left behind will be donated to charity.
Bake Sale Volunteers are needed to donate baked goods. Please contact Libbi Jeppesen at 377-8167 if you can help out. This is an easy, great way to help out if you are unable to help at the booths that night.
Face Painting In order to make our Extravaganza a success, we need lots of parental support. We are in need of 10 - 15 volunteer face-painters to help out in our face painting booth. We are looking for anyone who is willing (mothers, fathers, or teenagers). You do not need to be a great artist and we will provide all the supplies. All you do is show up and help make our extravaganza evening fun for all. Please contact Jen Hansen 374-8896 or Hillary Ross 375-0152.

We hope you've had many cool, delightful experiences with the extra time your families have had.
Bright Idea: Spring is in the air and we all want to get out and enjoy the warm weather. With a little extra pre-picnic planning, you can add some extra pizzazz to your picnic by taking it from ordinary to extraordinary!
• Remember you can have a picnic almost anywhere. Be creative! Think of out of the ordinary places to picnic such as in a car or pickup truck bed, on a balcony, under your kitchen table (small children would love this), in front of your fireplace, in a tent in your backyard, etc. If you have an indoor picnic, set out some houseplants to give added "atmosphere."
• Create a picnic bin or basket that is kept filled with the essentials so you can grab it and go whenever you want a spur of the moment picnic. Have kids paint and decorate the bin or basket if desired. Keep a checklist in your bin or basket so items can always be replaced as needed and ready to go.
• Have a picnic around a theme. Choose location, food, décor and other items around the theme. A picnic could also have a color theme for example - a pink picnic with everything pink.
• Use some artificial turf as a picnic table covering. This can be purchased by the yard inexpensively at a home improvement center.
