Parents - Parent Involvement

PTO

The Rockwern PTO seeks to enrich the school by developing and implementing educational, religious, and cultural programs that will enhance the students’ educational experience and further their development of positive Jewish identities.

The PTO raises money for programs, materials, and equipment that further the school’s educational and religious objectives. The organization also works to foster a sense of community within the school and among the Rockwern families.

Rockwern’s PTO is always looking for volunteers. Help is needed for projects both big and small. For more information, please contact Ellen Finestone (513)891-2321.

Dor L’Dor Program

The Dor L’Dor (Generation to Generation) Program was started by Rockwern’s PTO in 1999 and has since become a very important part of our children’s education. Once a week, senior volunteers come into the classrooms and work with students. The Program teaches our children about the Jewish value of Respect for the Elderly (Hidur P’nai Zaken) and gives different generations the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company.

Volunteers are needed to help with transportation and to spend lunch time with our seniors. Come and meet the people your children are talking about!

Birthday Book Club K-8

Rockwern Academy is excited to announce the fourth year of the Library Birthday Book Club. Parents may honor their son/daughter’s birthday by purchasing a book for $18. This will enhance the library collection with recent and highly recommended titles. Students will be called to the library to choose a book. A bookplate with the child’s name and birth date will be inserted, and the “birthday person” will be the first to check the book out. A party with kosher treats and a special gift from the library are part of this fun experience. Parties generally occur every three months. Call Marsha Witt, Chairperson, 513-774-9488, for details.
