Rockford’s Silver apple award goes to Connie Griffith. Our Rockford staff has our own personal Rockford greeter. Connie greets us every morning with “welcome to Rockford Elementary“. When you come in the door, you can’t help but smile and laugh when you hear her greeting. It helps our day get started off knowing that we are at Rockford as staff and family ready to work with the students and give our best. She is so positive and friendly. She has such energy and is always willing to help. Connie is so good at working with her students offering them patients and love. We are so thankful that Connie is a part of our Rockford family.

Mrs. Priddy's class celebrated National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day by showing their gratitude to Officer Danley! 🎉👮♂️ Thank you, Officer Danley, for keeping our school safe and for all you do for our students! 💙👏 #SROAppreciationDay #ThankYouOfficerDanley
National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day in 2025 is on February 15.
The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) established the day in 2022 to recognize the work of school resource officers (SROs).
What do SROs do?
SROs are sworn law enforcement officers who serve in schools. They help students stay safe and learn about crime prevention, drug awareness, and the legal system.
SROs also act as informal mentors and liaisons to community services.
SROs can help reduce crime, suspensions, and disciplinary actions in and around schools.
Why celebrate SROs?
SROs are essential members of the school community who help keep students safe.
SROs play a unique and vital role in law enforcement.
SROs help bridge the gap between law enforcement and youth.
A Big Thank You to Officer Darrell Danley!
