RBS Principal’s
Notes
November 16,
2018
Hopefully,
everyone managed the 1st snow of the season! The students were certainly excited to play
in it at recess today! Just a reminder
that students need boots, snow pants, coats, gloves/mittens, etc. to play on
the playground when we have snow.
IN THE NEWS:
Toys for
Tots at RBS
RHYTHMICS kicked
off its TOYS FOR TOTS collection during their rehearsal this week.
TOYS FOR TOTS is a well-known charity run by the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve. We hope to collect more than 500 toys before our Winter Concert,
which is scheduled for December 12th. Until that day, boys,
girls and Riddle Brook community members are asked to deposit new, unwrapped
toys in the big boxes located in the halls and in the music room at school.
All the toys will be used as decorations on the edge of the stage for the
concert! Through our generosity, the holidays will be filled with
happiness for boys and girls who need our help!
