The purpose of the Spirit Rock is to promote school spirit and kindness at Bascomb Elementary. Families and staff are able to "rent the rock" to recognize a student's birthday, show school spirit, thank or recognize a teacher or staff member, mark congratulatory events, etc. It is a great way to spread positive messages and increase excitement in our community! All of the funds raised through the Spirit Rock will be used for things that benefit our students and school.
