A Bushel of Thanks
Thank you to everyone who attended the Back-to-School BBQ. Over 500 people came to socialize with their Rockwell friends and welcome new friends and families to Rockwell. Special thanks to the Rockwell Teachers and Staff who joined us, we love hanging out with you!
A bushel of thanks to Jane Markham, Nancy Lytle and their crew from LWSD Food Service for organizing the fun and informative Farmer’s Market booths in the Gym. Kids had fun playing games and the samples were yummy and healthy. More Swamp Juice, please!
We hope you all had fun and lots of good food to eat.

B(est) B(eyond) Q(uestion) Volunteers
A huge event like the Back-to-School BBQ isn’t possible without the support of many people. Serving over 500 meals in an hour is no easy feat. With help from 50 volunteers, we did it with ease. We received many offers to help on the BBQ order form and within 2 days of requesting your help, every position was filled. AMAZING!
Thank you for your quick response and willingness to work together to provide a nice event for Rockwell. The BBQ was a success because of you. Thank you, we could not have done it without you!!!

More BBQ Thanks...
Our volunteers on the day of the BBQ were awesome, thank you! I would be remiss if I did not thank the people that helped us get to the “big” day…
Teachers – kid-mail delivery and BBQ announcements. Flyers, orders, tickets, oh my!
Mrs. Lewis – Beagle recruiter. Who was that cute, furry “dawg”?
Mrs. Livingston – BBQ announcements. Caused orders to triple the next day!
Chandara – Clean-up after the BBQ. Rockwell has never been cleaner!
Tracy Brooks – Beagle Bugle Magician. Poof, the order form appears!
Stephanie Sullivan and Celia Kennedy – PTA Board support and info Gurus for our never-ending list of questions.
Victoria Bigelis – PTA financial support. Multiple deposits at all hours of the day. The buck stops here!
Mrs. Wulf and Mrs. Bauman – communication liaison for info to teachers, families, LWSD Warehouse, LWSD Food Service and BBQ crew. You know nothing goes on without you in the loop!
LWSD Food Service – Cheryl Katzberg, made the ever changing and increasing food orders faultless. Debbie Delfino, kitchen extraordinaire. LWSD crew, set-up and service help and expertise. You all were so wonderful!
George Hulett – all about the service! Area Manager for LWSD Food Service (and Rockwell Dad), his crew was indispensable to the BBQ. Photography – captured the “Kodak moments”
Nicole Hulett – Determined the price of tickets and ordered mass quantities of food.
Allyn Higashi – ticket sales and volunteer scheduler.
Thank you all for you’re your support, time, patience and willingness to do what it takes to make this event a success. I could not have done it without you. You are the best!
