If you’re already on Facebook, then please, “LIKE” Roden School Council. It’s an easy way to get keep up with what’s going on at school. We try to post things like:
• Events such as parenting workshops, skate swap, movie night, etc.
• Reminders about photo day, PA days, pizza days, winter concert, etc.
• Photos of school events and class trips
• Volunteer opportunities such as baking, help at events
• Donation requests such as silent auction items
For parents who don’t do drop off or pick up, it’s another chance to stay connected with things happening at school.
