Pizza lunch for upcoming Café Rockway closures
When Café Rockway is closed on Wednesday, April 23 and Friday, May 2, the France Germany Exchange team will run their pizza lunch fundraiser! Slices are $3 a piece. No pre-ordering necessary – first come, first served. Students can also purchase pop and chips for $2 each. Come to the foyer at lunch with your CASH!

Founders’ Day – Chapel with Tea & Pastry Reception
Current parents and alumni are encouraged to join us for Chapel on Friday, May 2 at 9:15 as part of our Founders’ Day Celebrations. Hear from Rockway grad and recent retiree, Ray Boehm as well as Mary Groh who graduated in 1949! Then, if your time allows, hang around for our Tea & Pastry reception. Meet some of our retired faculty/staff and connect with other alumni or current parents. RSVP today by visiting our Founders’ Day Webpage. All are welcome.

Founders’ Day – Soups’ on!
Who doesn’t like when someone else cooks them supper!? Why not join us for Rockway’s annual Soup Supper Fundraiser as part of our Founders’ Day celebrations on Friday, May 2. Yes, soup does make more sense in February, but don’t let that stop you from coming out to support Trips Week. Feel free to bring your extended family and/or friends! All are welcome to sip, slurp or spoon your soup! Pre-order/RSVP today by visiting our Founders’ Day Webpage.

Immunization Information
The grade 7 vaccination clinic is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6. This will either be your student’s second dose (first was done in the fall), or potentially the first dose if the student missed the vaccination clinic in the fall. The Public Health consent forms for vaccinations were done by parents in the fall. Public Health does not share vaccination information with school and thus we are not able to answer questions about a student’s vaccination status.
