Grateful

Happy Thanksgiving, Rocket families!  We need only see our little Rockets soaring through the school year to find so much to be thankful for this coming week.


Here are a few recent activities for which we are thankful:

Book Fair
Rowe Lane Elementary School PTO appreciates the amazing volunteers who helped pilot an impressive book fair, earning a galactic $3,758! This money will be used to purchase new books for our school library. Thank you to our Rocket families and friends who came out to help make this possible.  We appreciate you to the moon and back!


Chipotle Spirit Night
As the cosmic dust settles at Chipotle, we see that the whirlwind of commotion and activity this past Monday was none other than an entire fleet of Rocket families enjoying a meal at the local franchise while earning money for the school.  We are thankful for Chipotle for helping us earn $466.08!


The Great Pie Gathering
As the Five Man Electrical Band once said, “Pies, pies, everywhere a pie.”
Thank you, Rocket families, for showing our teachers and administrators so much love - 95 pies worth to be exact, but who’s counting?  They will head home today with a delicious pie knowing that Rocket families think they are out of this world.  


As we do each month, let’s take a look at what is on the orbital horizon.

That’s all for now from Mission Control.
