What Are Those Rocks Outside Of The Schools?
They are called spirit rocks, which can be decorated by students, guardians and the school community. Find them outside of elementary, middle and high schools.
The rocks are like billboards, so they can advertise anything from a birthday to an encouraging message to the school community before a football game. Each school decorates its rock differently.
