Week #15- November 24, 2025
Season of Gratitude
As we move into this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to share how thankful we are for our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive community. Each day, we see kindness, hard work, and teamwork that make our school a special place to learn and grow. Thank you for partnering with us, encouraging your children, and helping create a school environment where everyone can be seen, heard, and valued. We are grateful for you!
If your family is in need of reading materials or math flash cards, please don’t hesitate to reach out; we’re happy to help make sure every child has the tools they need to succeed! Please email Mr. Kirk at kkirk@rockingham.k12.va.us or Mr. Baker at dbaker@rockingham.k12.va.us if you need materials.
Also, if you would like to volunteer in the school, let us know!
