Your Rock Creek PTC has several signature events and programs every year that
help fundraise, educate and give back to the community.
These standing events include:
Art Literacy
Art Literacy is the Rock Creek Elementary School art program. It is entirely administered by Rock Creek staff and funded by the Parent Teacher Club.
Art Literacy is taught in every classroom six times per year by parent volunteers (typically parents of students in the class being taught). Each Art Literacy lesson has two parts – a presentation about the artist and their work, followed by a project using the artist’s materials, tools, or techniques. Students have the opportunity to use new and different art materials as well as learn about famous artists.
The Art Literacy program at Rock Creek is part of a district-wide program whose goal is to introduce students to artists, techniques, and materials. The project provides a better understanding of the artist, and the outcome is less important than the process itself. Therefore, every student can be successful, regardless of artistic talent.
No artistic experience is needed! Prior to each of the six lessons, volunteers must attend either a morning or evening training session. During the hour-long training session, the presentation will be given to the volunteers, and then they have a chance to complete their own project. Later, at a time scheduled with the teacher, the volunteer will give the same presentation to the class and help them complete the project. All art supplies and presentation materials are provided.
If you (or any other family member) are interested in volunteering, please contact the Art Lit Coordinators for more information.
Rocket Run
The Rocket Run is our annual Jog-A-Thon event and is the primary PTC fundraiser for Rock Creek Elementary School. The money raised during this event goes directly to student enrichment programs such as art literacy, assemblies, holiday parties, field trips and classroom learning materials all supported by the Parent Teacher Club.
School Dance
The school dance is an early spring social event for students and their families. Come enjoy popcorn and glow sticks while we dance to the sick beats of Bach to Rock DJs.
Carnival
The Carnival is a volunteer-run and PTC funded event. All activities have two shifts so volunteers can still enjoy the event with their families. Please consider supporting this awesome family event!
Movie Nights
Throughout the year, FREE, fun, family movie nights are regularly held in the school’s cafeteria. Please note, parents/adult guardians must stay at the movie. This is not a drop off event.
