Planning Meeting – Multicultural Night TONIGHT

If you are passionate about showcasing and connecting the culture of our community (or even just mildly interested), join us for tonight’s MCN planning meeting. Planning is already underway and it’s time to gather a solid group of 5-7 volunteers to move the event to the next level. We are a fun, organized group and the event is a blast. Some of the places where we are looking for volunteers to help include:

• Securing and supporting Main Stage performers;
• Organizing signups and support for family educational booths. 
• Decorations and community art project. 
• Passport/scavenger hunt activity coordination. 
• SSL volunteers coordination.

If you are interested, please Signup Here!

You can also join the Zoom at 7:00 p.m.

Let’s keep this beautiful tradition of honoring the cultures that make RCF One School.

Kindness Parties – Feb. 14

3:00 – 3:30 PM at Rock Creek Forest Elementary

Instead of a traditional Valentine’s card exchange, we will be celebrating Kindness Parties in each classroom! Students will have the opportunity to write kind messages to their classmates or reflect on what makes them special. Our focus is on spreading kindness, inclusivity, and positivity throughout our school.

We look forward to a wonderful celebration filled with thoughtful words and warm hearts. If you plan to attend, please pre-register here.
