LATE ARRIVAL – TOMORROW, April 20th.  |  We’ll see you tomorrow at 9:20am.

BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS: Centennial vs. Rocky Ridge!!!  |  At Rocky Ridge we are constantly looking for opportunities to support student civic engagement and make it fun for kids!  With this in mind, our school has accepted a challenge and is eager to WIN and pie the administration team of Centennial Elementary when we win! 

Here’s how…

• • We will continue collecting completed and sealed ballots through April 26th.
  • Ballots can be turned in to your student’s teacher, the office, or gathered at parent pick-up/drop-off. 
  • Ballots will be kept in a secure, locked box in our office and are picked up daily.  Please note: We are an official drop-off site.
  • As an alternative to completed ballots, we will also be accepting “I Voted” ballot tear-offs!

The “prizes”:

1. 1. The top participating Rocky Ridge primary class AND the top Rocky Ridge intermediate class will win an extra recess AND a PTA-sponsored popcorn party! 
   2. The school that collects the most ballots and “I Voted” slips will get to “pie” the administration team from the opposing school. 
   3. And… to make this challenge even more exciting… If BOTH SCHOOLS bring in 300 ballots or tear-offs each… BOTH administration teams will get “PIED”! 

*** Let’s do this, Raccoons!!! ***
