Double, Double Toil and Trouble

Double, double toil and trouble,
Rockets burn, and spirit nights bubble!

It was a monster mash and a spirit night smash on October 12, 2017, at Monster Mini Golf.  And while we didn’t see any one-eyed, one-horned flyin’ purple people eaters, we had a great turnout of Rocket families vaporizing video games, mixing it up on the miniature golf course, and blasting their way through laser tag at this new neighborhood attraction. 


Fillet of fenny snakes,
A spooky night the PTO makes.

Despite it being a dark and stormy night, the second PTO meeting of the year was held on October 3, 2017.  The highlight of the meeting was the selection, by majority vote, of Candace Pruitt for the position of PTO vice president.  Most of you have the pleasure of knowing Candace through her active involvement in PTO and Rowe Lane Elementary School activities.  For those that have not met Candace, she is simply amazing!  Congratulations, Candace! Couldn’t make the meeting? No worries! The PTO meets on the first Tuesday of every month and looks forward to meeting you soon!


Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Pfall Pfreak Out and tongue of dog.

Pfall Pfreak Out, our school’s carnival, is this Saturday, October 21, 2017!  This is the most spooktacular event in the solar system, so be sure to invite your friends, family, and neighbors.  There will be pumpkin painting, inflatables, games, a petting zoo, a bake walk, a planetarium, a photo booth, a balloon artist, and a fortune teller, as well as several local vendors for those unique, one-of-a-kind gifts. Funds raised help support PTO initiatives for the entire year. Tickets and wristbands can be purchased at the event. Also, it’s not too late to volunteer.  Signup to volunteer here

One final reminder… get those Box Tops in by November 1, 2017.  Box Tops are an easy way to earn money for Rowe Lane Rockets.  Box Tops can be found on boxes and cans of some of your favorite food products.  Simply clip out the Box Top coupons and have your Rocket return them to his or her teacher.
