The 5th Grade AMIGOS are
sponsoring a food drive as part of the Souper Bowl
of Caring. The food drive runs now through
February 12. Any canned, sealed, or packaged
items are welcomed! Question to Ponder: Our
community has seen a 60 percent increase in the need
for food this year. This is a serious issue. If each
student in our school brings in 3 items, we would
have over 1,000 items. Why is it important as an IB
school to get involved? |
Anderson Mill has a new principal.
The RRISD School Board approved Kelly McBride as Anderson Mill's
new principal. Welcome, Ms. McBride!
See the RRISD website for more details.
