Thank you to Surry Communications in Dobson for donating snacks to our RES Backpack program.
Last Thursday, athletes from SCHS's varsity football and varsity volleyball teams joined us Thursday morning to assist with student arrival. They greeted students arriving in the carline and by bus. We saw several former Gators! I hope our students find this motivational and gets them pumped about their future as a Golden Eagle!
Good morning Gators! This is Mrs. Waters with weekly news. Monday will be day 3 in our specials rotation. On Monday and Wednesday of this week, our robotics team will practice after school.

Measuring pumpkins can be so much fun! Height, Circumference, and weight. Mrs. Freeman's 4th grade class explored measurement and pumpkins!
Does a pumpkin sink or float? 4th graders from Mrs. Freeman's class found out by doing the scientific method.
These are our October Leaders of the Month!
Today, the Literacy Committee at Rockford Elementary performed a skit for the student body, using the book, “Too Many Pumpkins.” A heart-warming classic for more than 20 years, this story shows what happens when one thrifty gardener figures out how to make other people happy with pumpkins! Students watched on as Rebecca Estelle enacted the words in the book read by the Scarecrow. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy night of Trick-or-Treating! Happy Halloween.
Thank You BCJ Trucking for the generous donation of goldfish crackers to feed our gators !!
