SPIRIT ROCKS
We have four spirit rocks that can be painted to celebrate your student's birthday! Three of the rocks are closest to the car line area, and there is one rock located by the bus drop line. The PTO is NOT responsible for painting the rocks.
To reserve a rock, please check the calendar below first to make sure the date is available and then fill out the reservation form. "Rock 1","Rock 2", and "Rock 3" mean the car rider line rocks, "Rock 4" means the bus line rock.
Rock 1 is located at the exit of the car rider line, and is closest to 521. Rock 2 is the first rock on the left in the car rider entrance, and Rock 3 is the second rock on the left in the car rider line entrance. Rock 4 is located in the bus drop line.

Deadline for Approval
You must submit your request for the spirit rock no later than 5 days prior to your reservation request. Your request is only a request and not confirmed until you have sent in your payment and receive a confirmation email from the spirit rock coordinator.
​
Other Rules/Guidelines
Only one person per day may reserve one of the Spirit Rocks. Once reserved, you will have that rock for 24 hours beginning at 4:00pm the day before. (For example, if you reserve a rock for August 25th, your reservation will begin at 4:00 pm on August 24th and run through 4:00 pm on August 25th.)
​
The PTO does not paint the rock for you. You bring your own paint, the school/PTO does not supply any painting materials. Plan to have 2-3 cans of each color you will be using especially if you are painting over a dark color, you may need more.
All rules as outlined in the LCSD student rights, responsibilities, and character development handbook and Code of Student Conduct MUST be obeyed. No exceptions. (No bullying, no profanity, obscenity, or derogatory language.)
