Thank you, Mustang Family!!!
A week ago, we were somewhere around 650 items, total, for the Live Thankfully food drive. By the end, we had met our goal with 6,493 items! Unbelievable!! We also collected $1,200 with the LT out of dress code sales and donations, which will help purchase meals. We know that we will have had a part in helping over 500 families in the community this Thanksgiving. This was our 10th year to partner with Live Thankfully. Our school, and the RHE Student Council, have been partners with LT for all 10 of those years.
This was, again, a total community effort. It came from students, parents, grandparents, UTA's Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority, friends, and neighbors working together. It's the heart of a community that always rises to meet the needs of those around us. Thank you, also, to everyone who joined the packing parties Saturday to bag the food that will be distributed with the Thanksgiving meals.
Congratulations to 4th grade for bringing in the most items (2,287 items), and to Kindergarten for your amazing 2nd place finish (1,250 items). Students and parents, you went above and beyond when called upon to help. Because the school met our overall goal, students and staff can be out of dress code next week on Wed. and Thurs., Nov. 17th and 18th.
Thank you, RHE community, for your compassion of others. We are, indeed, a school who Lives Thankfully and is always there when called upon to help. It's what I love most about this school family.
Gratefully,
