What Makes Our School Unique?
We opened our new facility on August 15, 2005, for kindergarten through fourth grade students. The students represent portions of Hickman, Dodson and Napier Elementary schools. The faculty and staff were chosen from a large pool of applicants who represent the best and most qualified teachers in the city. The "Rocket" was chosen as our school symbol because is best represents our school motto to "Soar to Success, Blast Off into the Future and Fly to Your Greatest Potential."
Each year we have a children's author or illustrator to visit our school for a day and interact with our students. We have has Joanna Cole and Bruce Degan from the Magic School Bus stories as well as Lynne Berry, David Sargent and Aliki. We believe these visits will encourage our students to become better readers, writers and illustrators. |
