Today in PE Mrs. Newman’s class learned about Mexico and some games that would traditionally be played there. After learning Mar y Tierra, Sarah Landacerde Martinez shared how she has played the same game. Mrs. Fitzgerald was super impressed with Sarah’s poise and leadership as she shared with the class.

"Congratulations, Vickie Doby, Rockford's Bus Driver of the Year!"
Ms. Vickie shows up to drive bus 58 every day, but she is more than that...
Vickie goes above and beyond to love and support our Rockford Gators. She is committed to building relationships with her students and encouraging them as leaders; it is evident that her students know they are loved.
We appreciate you, Ms. Vickie!
Third graders from Rockford Elementary thoroughly enjoyed their field trip to Surry Community College on Wednesday. The instructors did an amazing job of talking to the kids about 2-year programs that are available through the college. They got to learn about all the different career opportunities SCC has to offer and had a delicious lunch at the Knights Grill.
Kindergarten had an egg-tastic time yesterday on their Easter egg hunt!
Come out and support RES! We would love to see you there!

Congratulations to these students who have already earned their black belt in the Jump Rope Ninja Program!
The fourth-grade classes went to the Science Institute at Meadowview Magnet Middle School to see the Phases of the Moon with Mr. Edwards. This is always a great hands-on experience to learn science!
