Information

What is a Ruach Rock?
Ruach means spirit in Hebrew, and our Ruach Rock is a perfect way to display our community spirit! Parents, students and staff have the opportunity to rent the Ruach Rock to recognize a student, teacher, or staff member. 

How can I rent the Ruach Rock? 
Rental slots are available twice a week. Sunday and Wednesday. Scroll down to reserve your dates and make sure to read all of the rules below. Payments must be made at the time of sign-up via credit card, check, or cash. 

Do I paint the rock?
You can paint the rock yourself. Here are the supplies you might need: Two cans of spray paint, a drop cloth, acrylic craft paint for your design, and brushes or foam sponges. 

Can the PTA paint the rock for me?
For questions regarding painting, or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer PTA painter, please contact Pesha Bluma (peshabluma613@gmail.com). There is no PTA painter available in Summer 2024 or for Wednesdays during the 2024-2025 school year. The PTA painter will be available for most Sunday paintings during the 2024-2025 school year.

What if the rock is already reserved on the dates that I want?
Rock reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis. If the dates you want are already booked, choose the next available time slot, either before or after. 

Rules

1. You cannot book two (or more) time slots in a row. You will need to complete a new request/transaction for each rock reservation.

2. There are three options for having the Ruach Rock painted:

a. Rock Reservation $20: You paint! You will need 1-2 spray paint cans for the base. Acrylic craft paint and brushes/sponges are helpful for the design. No stickers or other adhesives are allowed. After you paint, please ensure the area around the rock remains clean and free of trash and debris. If these rules are broken, you will not be able to reserve the rock in the future.

b. Standard Option +$40: Add the standard option to your reservation and the PTA painter paints! Must be purchased at least 14 days before your rock painting date. Birthday design includes candles and a balloon, Bar/Bat Mitzvah design includes a Torah and yad. Other celebration design includes stars and balloons. The PTA painter will email you one week before your reservation to discuss your request. Final design is up to the PTA painter.

c. Deluxe Option +$60: Add the deluxe option to your reservation and PTA painter paints! Must be purchased at least 14 days before your rock painting date. The rock will be painted with your requested text and decor such as a character or other art. You will be able to request the colors, text and decor. The PTA painter will email you a week before your reservation to discuss your requests. Final design is up to the PTA painter.

3. No profane words, symbols, political comments, or derogatory/offensive message are permitted. We do not tolerate bullying, obscenity, or discriminatory remarks. Our PTA reserves the right to paint over any content we deem inappropriate and you will not be able to reserve the rock in the future.

4. The PTA reserves the right to block off dates for school use.

5. Payment is due at the time of the reservation. Cash or check payments can be turned into the school office. Label your envelope with the dates you are requesting and the painting option. Please make out checks to the "Jacksonville Jewish Center" and write "PTA Ruach Rock" on the memo line.

6. All proceeds from the rock (including the volunteer PTA painter fees) are used to fund the Preschool and Day School PTA initiatives.

7. We are not responsible for missed or forgotten reservations. If bad weather should occur, the painting date will be moved to the next day. If bad weather occurs for a long period of time, we will move it to another open day or provide a refund.
