Rousseau Food Drive – Feb. 24th-March 4th

Rousseau’s Annual Food Drive is starting soon! It will commence on Monday, Feb. 24 and end on March 4. We are asking families to consider sending in non-perishable food items such as canned food, baby food, dry pasta, rice, and powdered milk (complete list below).

Grocery gift cards would also be a helpful donation because they will be used by families in need to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.

Students are asked to bring all food and grocery gift card donations to their classrooms. Students could wonder, “Why might I want to donate food to people in need?” Each class is receiving a short presentation where students are learning that unfortunately, some people may not be able to afford food for their families.

Let’s all collaborate at Rousseau to help people in need and make this another successful and wonderful Rousseau Food Drive!
