The Alliance City Schools annual student art show will be displayed through the month of April. Rockhill and Parkway displays will be in the children's section.

As part of Aultman Health Foundation's mission to "Lead Our Community to Improved Health," we are excited to bring our Safety First program to your school. The Safety First program provides children's bicycle helmets and Bicycle training to all Stark County first graders in an effort to prevent head injuries.

The program began in 2005 with Aultman's neighborhood schools and last year we worked with all of Canton City Schools. As a result of such positive feedback, Aultman has decided to provide the Safety First program to all first graders in public and private schools in StarkCounty in 2008.

The program focuses on obeying traffic laws and why wearing a bike helmet while riding is so important. Kids promise to be safe on their bikes and in return receive a free bicycle helmet that will be properly fitted. In addition, they receive an educational coloring and activitybook to keep.

 

 

We have a lot of amazing artists at Rockhill Elementary.  Check out the wonderful art work at the Creative Corner display.

We had a very special Veteran's Day program at Rockhill on Veteran's Day.
Chuck Gross, grandfather of third grade student, Rachael Wagner spoke to the students about Veteran's Day.  Mr. Gross is a Vietnam War Veteran.  He explained to the students what a veteran is and told about his experiences during the war in Vietnam.   Mr. Gross came dressed in his army uniform and also displayed other items used during his stay in Vietnam.  The students thoroughly enjoyed his presentation!

 

Red Ribbon Week began following the 1985 murder of Kiki Camarena, a law-enforcement officer killed by drug dealers in Mexico.
Red Ribbon Week was established in Officer Camarena’s memory after his friends began wearing red ribbons to show support
for the fight against drugs.
Monday
Draw students hand prints and name on it to pledge hands off drugs.

Tuesday
Wear your shirt backwards to "turn your back on drugs".
Wednesday
Wear boots to "stomp out drugs".
Thursday
Wear hats to "put a cap on drugs".
Friday
Wear your favorite sweats for “Being drug free is no sweat”!
 

First Grade Teachers at Rockhill Elementary planned a Fall Fun Day for their students on October 15th. 

Students had the opportunity to experience 8 different learning centers.  Those special

centers include:

Learning about the Life Cycle of a Pumpkin; Fall Cooperative Teamwork Games including

gourd relays; Autumn in the Kitchen which involves getting to decorate fall cupcakes made

by Rockhill grandparent, Joyce Bland; Fall Film Festival; Making Torn Paper Pumpkins;

Rubbings and Writings, which will let the students learn about many different types of

leaves and nature findings; Fall Collage and Mural Creation and Story time, Songs and a

Square Dancing lesson.  Also, the first grade students will all be wearing special “I am a

first grader” t-shirts provided by SPARK.  SPARK, “Supporting Partnerships to Assure

Ready Kids,” is a multi-year initiative funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in partnership

with the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Canton.  Teachers Addie Bender, Crystal Haba,

Janice Monks, Kate Sciortino and Trisha Sinkovitz worked together to create this

exciting day.  They were assisted by many parent volunteers and Mount Union College
student practitioners.

Students in Mrs. Funk’s class had a special guest to help them with chess.  Mrs. Funk’s dad (Ron Zikovich) was in town from Pittsburgh and it just so happens that he loves to play chess.  He visited Mrs. Funk’s class on Tuesday and played chess with students.  A great learning time was had by all.

All Rockhill first grade students were able to participate in a distance learning program with The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA. Students reviewed what they already knew about butterflies and they learned a lot of new information.  Students also created a string or marionette butterfly puppet during the program.
What a fun way to learn about butterflies and a little about puppets too!

Please fill out all forms sent home in a red folder and return them the week of August 24.  Thank you so much for your cooperation.

There are also new start and end times for students this year. They are as follows:

Start- 8:05 A.M.
Dismissal- 3:05 P.M.

We are happy to welcome our new staff members to Rockhill.
