• Paint The Rock

    Spirit rock is a fun way to show our Parkside family that you are thinking of them. Many individuals use the spirit rock as a way to send special shout-outs to students and staff. We have had many families shout birthdays, performance kudos, and staff/student appreciation. 

    Please read all options and rules below before making your reservation.

    We have 2 options for you to take advantage of this fun and memorable activity.

    Option 1. Self paint - If you choose this option, your payment only includes rental of the rock. You are required to paint the rock and no assistance or supplies will be provided.

    ​Option 2. Rock rental and painting services - If you choose this option, your payment will include rental of the rock and the painting of the rock. If you select this option, someone from our team will be in contact with you to coordinate the design and text that you would like for the rock. We do ask for 2 weeks advanced notice so that we can secure an artist to complete the design.

    We will try to accommodate all request, however, any notice given after 2 weeks cannot be guaranteed. Someone from our team will follow-up with you to let you know if we are able to approve the request. If unable to approve, you will still have the option to maintain the rental and paint the rock yourself.

    Suggestions.
    Wear old clothes!
    Wall paint or spray paint will probably stick to the rock best. It may take 2-4 cans of spray paint to make a base coat. Spray paint may be harder to avoid the grass, but may dry faster than latex paint.
    You are responsible for purchasing and applying all paint.
    What you don’t use this year can be stored for use next year and/or donated to the Parkside PTA.
    Don't forget to respect our school grounds and the environment
