(If there name is not there they may select Mrs. Green, this is a level set for those reading above their current targeted grade level.) This website is great for practicing reading skills at home!

Oconee Food for Kids

To help bridge the food gap for some children during the weekend, sacks of kid-friendly food are distributed every week to children in Oconee County.

The month of September Rocky Branch will be collecting:

Boxes of snack-sized microwave

 popcorn (10 per box)

There is absolutely no cost to you!

Register online at www.wee-read.org

If you or someone you know has a child birth to age 5, please look in to signing them up for Wee Read.  Our goal is to have 2000 children in Oconee County signed up.  This program is not income-based - it is for EVERY young child. We would like for ALL children in the RBES zone receive these nice, FREE hardback books in the mail.   Our future Rockets deserve the chance to read these books and to have the thrill of getting their own mail to support the love of readings!

We will be having our annual Youth Night at the NOHS softball game on Tuesday Sept 23rd against Oglethorpe County.  Game time is 5:55

Any youth softball player (girls only) wearing their softball jersey will be allowed into the game at no charge.  All players must have an adult accompany them.

  Jewelry

Please help us by making sure your child leaves all jewelry {bracelets, necklaces, etc.} at home. They often become a huge distraction during instructional time.
