Paint the Rock

 

Bring color, creativity, and community to campus with the Roots Academy Spirit Rock! Painting the rock is a memorable way to unite and uplift our school community. Use the calendar below to reserve the rock and paint it together, paint it for a special occasion, or celebration!

Spirit Rock Guidelines

  • Rent the Spirit Rock - $50 for a one week time period. 

  • All reservations are made by sending a message through ProCare and paying the invoice for rental through ProCare. 

  • Reservations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please keep in mind, that the earlier you make your reservation, the more likely you are to secure your desired date(s). 

  • Any individual, team, event, or business may be the subject of the Spirit Rock for a limit of two weeks (in succession or not in succession) per calendar month. Anyone not abiding by this rule will have their reservation canceled.

  • What is painted on the Spirit Rock must be in good taste and may not contain any foul language, discriminatory, religious, and/or political statements and/or symbols. Profanity and obscenities are not permitted. Roots Academy reserves the right to cover or remove any rock design that is deemed inappropriate. Refunds will not be given.

  • All messages should be affirming! Designs should have a caring and nurturing message. All wording and symbols must be positive.

  • The rock runs on the honor system, with the hopes that everyone will respect these guidelines.

  • Families, groups, or organizations must furnish their own labor, paint, and supplies to paint the rock. NO SPRAY PAINT IS ALLOWED ON CAMPUS PER ADMINISTRATION. Please only use “standard” paint on the rock – no puffy paint, no glue, no chemicals, etc.

  • The family, group, or organization painting the rock assumes liability for any individual or member of the group/organization who may be injured or who incur clothing or other personal property damage.

  • ONLY the rock can be painted. Painting on sidewalks, lamp posts, or buildings is prohibited. Any damage or destruction to the surrounding areas or buildings will deem the family, group, or organization financially responsible for cleaning and repair costs. THIS MEANS ALL PAINT SUPPLIES MUST STAY IN THE GRASSED AREA AND OFF THE SIDEWALK.

  • You may start painting the rock at 4:00pm on the day before your reserved date(s). (i.e. If you reserved the rock for a Tuesday, you may start painting at 4:00pm on Monday evening.) 

  • Roots Academy does not give refunds on the rock. Please mark your calendar!

  • If the weather is inclement, plan on painting with an umbrella in hand. Sorry, no refunds. If you can't paint the rock on your reserved day (conflict in your schedule, forgot, moving, etc.), try to trade with another family at the school. 

  • “Renter” supplies all painting materials.

Suggested supplies

  • Latex paint (exterior) one to two quarts for background color.

  • a “rough” roller works best for covering the background

  • a secondary paint (exterior) color for the wording

  • small (1”) brushes or sponges work well for lettering

  • *Painting Tip* - Bring a piece of chalk to write any letters/words before painting!
    ***NO SPRAY PAINT ALLOWED ON CAMPUS!

  • Bring a large trash bag to take home all items as you will need to properly discard all painting supplies at home and not on school grounds. Used paint cans are not to be placed in the campus trash bins or dumpsters. Please dispose of paint cans properly and off campus.
