We are still in need of volunteers for Saturday!

If you or any middle or high school student would like to donate a few hours of their time to help us pull off an amazing event for our community, please reach out!

We have openings for our Face Paint/Glitter Hair Station (simple designs as we have pro Face Painter Mrs. Kathi Stoll coming to donate her skills!) and have a few openings for games during the 1-3 shift.

We appreciate any support!

Congratulations to our first round of Rock Starr Students of the Month!

These students were nominated by their teachers for being Responsible and learning their Social Contract during the month of September.

They got to enjoy a special donut and c***r breakfast with Mr. Simonelli and will take home a custom engraved medal to reward them for their hard work.

Way to go, Rock Starrs! 🌟
