RWHS Food Pantry
We know that a full tummy means a brain that's ready to learn! Thanks to generous donations from our community, RWHS has a food pantry accessible to ALL students grades 8-12. Students can leave school with a very discreet bag of food or personal care items to take home to their family-for free. There are no restrictions on who can use this or how many times.
Contact the nurse, your counselor or a teacher to sign up.
You may also email nurse Vikki at vlleclaire@rwps.org.
