Rickard is holding a Shoe and Denim Drive from May 2-20. Items can be dropped off in the donation box outside the office next to the lost and found. Denim can be in any type of condition since these items will be recycled through the BlueJeansGoGreen program which makes insulating material for various items. Shoes need to be clean, dry, and in gently used condition. These will be recycled through the Sneaker Impact Program. Thank you in advance for all donations!
Thank you to PTO for hosting their annual fundraiser last night! We had a great turnout of staff, parents/guardians, and students.
