Food Drive
Attention RJHS students and your awesome families,
It's that time of year when we love to help restock the Rochester Christian Church's food pantry. We will be holding a food drive competition from Monday, November 6th to Monday, November 20th. The learning lab with the highest percent of donations will win a donut party on Tuesday, November 22nd. Please help get the food pantry ready for Thanksgiving and other meals this winter. Here is a list of items that food pantries often request if you are looking for ideas. Thanks for your kindness and making a difference in our community. May the most generous learning lab win!
