DASH

The DASH will begin in the very near future!  We are really focusing on doing things the ROCKETS’ Way!  We had a class discussion about goal setting where we set goals that are specific, measurable, and attainable.  The students decided to set a goal of receiving 75 sponsors for our class.  We will be monitoring the number of sponsors/donations that children receive.  Please help our school raise money to purchase some cool interactive robots to assist students with problem solving through the STEAM process! 

Elementary School Appreciation Night & OCYFL

Friday night, Oct. 10th  is Elementary School Appreciation Night and OCYFL Night at the NOHS vs. Monroe Area High School Football game. The game starts at 7:30pm.

Your students are invited to report to the home side track of our stadium at 6:45 pm where a cheerleader will great them and each school will be announced and honored. We are excited about recognizing our future Titans.
