RBS Principal’s
Notes
November 20,
2018
Happy Thanksgiving
to all! I hope everyone is able to spend
some time over the break with family and friends. Reminder…there is no school tomorrow
(Wednesday, November 21st).
We’ll see you on Monday, November 26th.
IN THE NEWS:
Food Drive Information
A big "thank
you" to all of our generous families who donated non-perishable food items
requested by the Bedford
Community Food Pantry for our annual food drive. A special “thank you” goes out to one of our 4th
grade Principal’s Advisory Group members, Pierce Connolly, and his family who
held a “satellite drive” at their office (Bedford Dental Care). As a result, this year we collected 549 food/non-perishable items, which is
an increase of over 250 from last year’s drive!
Our Principal's Advisory Group
counted and packed up the food yesterday.
It was picked up by the food pantry today...just in time for Thanksgiving
and the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Playground
Just a reminder
that students need boots, snow pants, coats, gloves/mittens, etc. to play on
the playground when we have snow.

REMINDERS:
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!
