RBS Principal’s Notes
November 26, 2019

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 27th).  We’ll see you on Monday, December 2nd. 

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.  This year we collected 582 food/non-perishable items, which is an increase from last year’s drive!  Our Principal's Advisory Group counted and packed up the food yesterday.  It will be picked up by the food pantry today...just in time for Thanksgiving and the long Thanksgiving weekend.

RBS Office
The RBS office (and all district offices) will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, November 27th.

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 3rd. 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.  Through our generosity, the holidays will be filled with happiness for boys and girls who need our help!
