Camp Information
Rachel Carson has joined with Activity Rocket to make your lives easier! Activity Rocket ( www.activityrocket.com ) is a free, searchable website to find kids’ activities and camps.
And if that wasn’t great enough, once 30% of our school’s student body is registered, one of Activity Rocket's providers will come to Rachel Carson and give an assembly, or put on a great program for a back-to-school event, or a parent ed night, or ... we get to choose!
A very special thank you to BELL NURSERY for the beautiful plants and flowers they donated for the front of the school!
Bell Nursery operates the garden center at the Home Depot at Shady Grove. As you get ready to plant this spring or summer, we encourage you to shop at the Shady Grove Home Depot for any of your garden needs.
We also wish to thank K-Mart for their donation of potting soil.

Read about our Community Outreach Program efforts featured in the February 3 Gazette. The Outreach Program for our families at Governor Sqaure Apartments. This great program is supported by the school staff, parents and the PTA. It is a completely volunteer driven program.

Thank you to our teachers, administrators and of course the parents that have been helping out in their efforts to make a difference for our extended community.
