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.
** Upon our return from Spring Break...
Choir classes will meet in the choir room (room 133)
Seventh and eighth grade core classes will change classes (no more traveling teachers). Some things to remember:
Students should not be visiting their lockers between classes - carry everything you need for the day.
Students should be using the restroom DURING class (with permission), not at class transitions to eliminate congestion in the restrooms.
LUNCH TODAY:
Turkey Club Sub, Chips, Green Beans, Asst. Fruit, Milk
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.
