Rocky Ford Students Travel to Costa Rica for Spanish Immersion Experience! Three Rocky Ford students recently returned from an unforgettable adventure in Sámara, Costa Rica, where they spent one week attending school as part of a Spanish immersion program! Joined by students from Swink and Fowler, our students had the unique opportunity to deepen their Spanish language skills while experiencing the vibrant culture of Costa Rica firsthand. They enjoyed a wide range of activities including zip-lining and surfing. This trip offered a powerful blend of education and cultural exchange. A big thank you to teachers Jessica Pickering and Emily Moreland for leading this incredible experience and supporting our students every step of the way! ¡Qué experiencia tan increíble! ¡Pura Vida!

Rocky Ford School District is now accepting applications for two Intensive Health Aides and a Special Education Aide at Rocky Ford Elementary. For more information or to apply, click on the following link: https://www.rockyfordk12.org/page/employment
