Did you know that Friends of Rachel sponsors a food pantry for students here at school? Rachel's pantry is fully stocked with non-perishable food items for families in need. Please reach out to your homeroom teacher if you are interested and they can contact someone who will send you home with food.
All students are eligible to receive free school lunches (a regular lunch) as a result of the federal school lunch program waiver made possible through the CARES act. Additionally, any students purchasing a regular school lunch since the start of the school year will have that lunch cost refunded to their lunch account in the coming weeks.
