American Education Week celebrates the wide range and incredible team of support professionals who help our students succeed-from paraeducators and clerical staff to bus drivers, technical specialists and students service workers. Every one of them plays a vital role supporting students and families while keeping our schools running and thriving.
National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is celebrated each year, one week before Thanksgiving. It takes place from November 17 to 25 this year. It creates awareness about the big problem the less fortunate face in society. With the upcoming holiday season and harsh winters, it can be a particularly difficult time for many, especially those who are struggling with hunger and shelter. Throughout the week, donations are made and volunteers sign up for programs that aim to feed and rehabilitate those in need. Doing your bit for the needy is a great way to spread festive cheer.

🍎✨ Silver Apple Award – November ✨🍎
Congratulations to SRO Officer Lance Richardson, our November Silver Apple Award recipient!
Officer Richardson joined the Rockford Elementary family this school year and has been a wonderful addition to our school community. Not only does he work hard to keep our campus safe, but he also goes above and beyond to connect with our students each day. From greeting them each morning with a smile and a fist bump to joining different grade levels for lunch, his positive presence makes a big difference.
We are so thankful for Officer Richardson and all he does for Rockford Elementary! 💙👮♂️🍎
