Oak Leaf Weekly News

ROCS Community,

We are participating in the Pumpkin Fest this coming weekend!

As we all know, it's been a different start to the year, and this event gives us an opportunity to gather as a school community.

Our goal is to have students and families share what they love about their school and show off the amazing things our children get to do at ROCS!

We need parent and student volunteers to help us at our booth. We have acorn bell necklaces for volunteers to make with the public. (Thank you 5th grade parent Elexa for the great idea!)

List of materials to donate for the weekend that will be on display:

-main lesson books

-Felted animals and pumpkins

-anything your child has made through the grades!

-shield from the knighting ceremony

-etc...

Please bring any donated goods to the River Oak front office.

We will take good care of your child's sweet treasures and will return them to you next week.

We can't wait to share this seasonal event with our community!

Please note we will be following COVID guidelines at the event...

River Oak improved their record to 4-2 on Monday beating the Baechtel Grove Cougars

(Willits), 2 sets to none. In the first set, the Firebirds won handily with a score of 25-7. From start to finish, in the first set, River Oak did a really good job serving, scoring 13 aces as a team. Lola Pearson had 6 aces, Daphne Phillips, (who recently developed an overhand serve) earned 3 aces, Varsity Gaches and Adia Davis both had 2 aces. Gaches also had 2 spikes and a block, Davis also pitched in with 3 digs. “It was pretty easy in the first set” Coach Rebekah Martinez said later “the team was just communicating really well and serves were going over.” The second set was a lot closer. River Oak was never really able to gain a big lead until

Lola Pearson was able to earn 3 aces in a row. This gave ROCS the momentum they needed and then they were able to jump out to a 20-12 lead. The Cougars tried to put in a last second run, but it was too little too late for the Willits team. The Firebirds were able to win the set 25-19. Pearson had 4 aces and Gaches had 3. Varsity Gaches, who is averaging 9.9 aces per game, when asked how they were able to win said, “Working together as a team and playing on the net and calling the ball when we need to.” Lola Pearson, who had a season high 10 aces said “Our serving was really good this game, and communicating and playing on the net and getting used to our rotation.”

If you have an abundance of apples and pears, first grade would love to take them off your hands and make homemade applesauce as a class.

After nearly two years, our students went on their first field trip! Our 2nd and 6th graders enjoyed fun and laughter at the pumpkin patch!
