RocketFest 2024 runs today through Friday, April 19, and will feature several events to encompass a host of activities for Student Appreciation Week.
This year’s theme is Camp Rock-et. At any event, students can get a “Camp Guide,” which will hold a series of activities for students to earn badges and then present at the end of the week to earn prizes.
“RocketFest is a week full of programming that is free for all students,” said Ashley Westgate, RocketFest student committee member. “There will be challenges, prizes and fun activities all throughout the week. We hope to see you there.”
