Quist ROYALS Weekly News
April 28, 2023
Hello ROYALS!
As we wrap up the week, I want to highlight the Fill the Truck campaign. Students and staff campaigned to collect sock donations to fill the fire truck. The campaign was successful with over 90 pounds of socks being donated. The winning Pathway donated 15 pounds of socks. Congratulations Mr. Rhodes' class!
Today, the students in NJHS hosted a first responders lunch. This was the first time they hosted the event. It was a great success and they have ideas about how to make it even better next year. Thank you NJHS for showing appreciation for first responders!
Earlier this week, you received several communications about happenings at the school. As a follow-up, I wanted to share a resource with you about safety protocols that we utilize in emergency situations. You can learn about the protocols here.
Enjoy your weekend!
