Help LRSD Stock the Rock the Wright Way
Tackling food insecurity among our students will be the focus of LRSD Superintendent Dr. Jermall Wright's signature community initiative, "Stock the Rock the Wright Way." Wright kicked off the campaign this week at the LRSD administration building, surrounded by principals and counselors from District schools. The campaign's goal is to collect non-perishable food, personal hygiene items, and household supplies to replenish existing school-based pantries or create new ones to support LRSD students/families with the most urgent needs. We surveyed principals about specific needs at their campuses, which are listed in the link below. The drop-off date is Wednesday, March 15th, at noon at LRSD schools. Hope you'll join us!
