Shifting Gears 2017
Sponsored by the Rocky Run Middle School PTA
Attention: Our Shifting Gears Program for the summer 2017 is full. Thank you to all of those who registered!
Shifting Gears at a Glance:
Who? All Rising Rocky Run 7th Grade Students
What? Rocky Run Middle School Preparation
Where? Rocky Run Middle School
Why? To prepare your child for the next two years of school!
The overall mission of Shifting Gears is to acclimate your child to Rocky Run while creating friendships that will last into the fall and beyond. It was created as a way to ease your child into their middle school experience. It is NOT summer school and almost all students consider it a fun and worthwhile experience.
