Dear RMS Families,
This Veterans Day, our eighth-grade students will hear from guest speakers about military service and the experiences of veterans. Students will also assemble care bags for veterans living in local assisted living communities.
We hope these activities give students a chance to listen, learn, and express gratitude in a personal way. A care bag and a handwritten note can remind a veteran that their service and story matter.
If your family would like to help, we welcome donations of new, unused items:
Hygiene: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shampoo, soap, lip balm, lotions
Clothing: New socks/fuzzy socks
Everyday comforts: Small blankets and individually packaged snacks and candy (gum), flavored drink packets
Participation is completely optional. Every student will take part in the learning and service activities, whether or not their family donates.
Please send donations to school by November 3rd. Thank you for helping our students show care and appreciation to veterans in our community.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kitzman
