Magnetic Fun with Mrs. Tilley's 1st Graders!
This week, Mrs. Tilley's 1st Grade class went on an exciting magnetic search! Armed with magnets and curious minds, students explored their classroom, discovering which objects were magnetic and which were not. It was a fun, hands-on way to learn about the properties of magnets and explore the world of science. Great job, 1st graders!

NATIONAL STOP BULLYING DAY
National Stop Bullying Day on the second Wednesday in October brings together students, faculty, and parents to end bullying.
#StopBullyingDay
This annual designation promotes standing up against and putting an end to bullying. No child should be afraid to ride a bus or go to school because a classmate threatens them. Children who have been bullied should also feel they can report the incident without repercussions.

Sometimes all it takes to make the day better is a smile, whether it’s one someone gives to you, or one you share with another. Little acts of kindness can bring a shining smile to someone who has otherwise had a terrible day, and it can change everything that follows.
Whether it’s just a simple compliment, a cheery hello, or a gift of something small to help brighten their day, World Smile Day encourages you to take action to bring a few more smiles into the world.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has announced this year's theme for Fire Prevention Week October 6-12: "Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!™" The goal of this year's campaign is to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home.
"It's simple, working smoke alarms save lives! Due to synthetic materials used in modern construction, homes burn hotter and faster, while also emitting toxic smoke limiting the time you have to escape to less than 2-3 minutes. The early warning from smoke alarms could save your life.”
Happy World Teachers' Day to all of our incredible educators at Rockford Elementary! 🍎📚 Today, we celebrate the passion, dedication, and hard work you put into shaping the future. Thank you for inspiring, guiding, and making a lasting impact on every student. We appreciate everything you do to make Rockford Elementary a place of learning and growth!
