REMINDERS:
Holiday Cheer at RBS
We have some fun and festive “Spirit Day” events coming up for RBS students and staff!
  • Friday, December 14th:  All School Holiday Pajama Day.  Students and staff may wear their comfiest and coziest holiday PJ’s.  (No stuffed animals or slippers, please.)
  • Friday, December 21st:  Festive Sweater Day.  Students and staff may wear their most “festive” sweaters/vests/dresses, etc. 

Coat Drive
As we have in past years, Riddle Brook School is sponsoring a Coat Drive.  Items collected will be donated to needy families.  The drive runs from Monday, December 3rd – Wednesday, December 19th.  Items to be collected include: clean hats, mittens/gloves, scarves and coats for men, women, children and infants.  Boxes are located in the library hallway.

Food Pantry
RBS is working with the Bedford Food Pantry to help collect food items that are most needed by families.  Every other month we will be collecting 1 food item.  Because we had our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, I moved our November drive to December.  For the month of December, that item is SINGLE SERVE CEREAL/OATMEAL.  If you are able, please bring in single serve cereal/oatmeal until Friday, December 21st.  We will have a box for donations in the office hallway outside of the library.  Thank you so much for supporting this very worthy cause, which supports Bedford families.
