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.
- Thanks!
We are continuing this year with weekly newsletter SHOUT-OUTS! Each weekly newsletter will provide any staff or student the opportunity to submit a shout-out to a staff or student of the RWHS community. Shout-outs will be printed in the next newsletter.
Consider using this opportunity to lift someone up, praise successes or hard work, thank someone, or just call attention to someone who makes RWHS a great place to be!
