Mrs. O’Connor’s fifth grade class had a very special guest yesterday—Principal Gebbie! She stepped in to serve as the executive branch, taking on the role of president for our government lesson. Students presented their proposed laws, and Madame President carefully reviewed each one. In the end, she signed three into law and vetoed three others.
Now, students will reconvene to see if they can rally a two-thirds majority to override the vetoes. Everyone worked hard and brought their best ideas forward in hopes of impressing our visiting president!
It is SPIRIT DAY tomorrow. Be sure to wear your Rock Creek gear or school colors. The class in each grade level to wear the most spirit wear on Spirit Day will get the Rock Creek Spirit Stick for their grade. Also, you can bring $1 to purchase a Ninja Flinger.
Congratulations to our final students of the week for the school year.

Future Raptors in the House! Yesterday was extra special as we welcomed our incoming kindergarten class (the class of 2038 🤯) for Kindergarten Signing Day! Our tiniest learners came dressed to impress and ready to take their first big step into the world of elementary school. With bright smiles, proud families, and a whole lot of excitement, these future students “signed” their commitment to start kindergarten with us next fall!
Don't forget to wear your spirit gear tomorrow! Remember the class in each grade level to wear the most spirit gear on spirit day will get the spirit stick for the month. If you bring a dollar you can purchase a fun zipper bracelet.
