Celebrating Our 5th Graders

Each year, Fifth Grade Teachers and Parents collaborate to celebrate our students who will be embarking on Middle School the following year. Our goal is to celebrate students’ achievement completing Elementary School with a boost of confidence as they embark on this next journey.

The celebration includes a bundle of goodies featuring a yearbook, panoramic class photo, t-shirt, party during the last week of school, and a promotion reception with families. The Fifth Grade Fundraising Committee aims to off-set the costs to fifth grade families by fundraising throughout the school year.

How To Get Involved

Our Next Event

Election Day Bake Sale – November 5th

Rock Creek Forest is a polling station for the November 5th Election, and the Fifth Grade Promotion Committee is hosting a Donations-Based Bake Sale! This event has the potential to raise more than 30% of our fundraising goal.

We need your help! You can get involved by:

  • Signing up to donate a baked good to be sold to people participating in voting at RCF. We plan to sell coffee, baked goods, and savory items throughout the day. Deliver goods on the day-of to RCF or arrange for drop-off beforehand by emailing 5th.grade.promotion@rcfpta.org.
  • Volunteer for a 2-hour shift on the day of the event, Tuesday, November 5th. We encourage you to bring your child!
  • Spread the word to your classmates and the community by encouraging them to donate a baked good, or to purchase something at RCF on November 5th!
