Third Graders Help Local Children Prepare for School

During April, our third grade students spearheaded a Lower Campus collection of new school supplies to benefit local children when they return to school in September.

On April 28, the students sorted and packed the supplies and decorated reusable RCS shopping bags to benefit the patrons of the Community Center of Northern Westchester. Our children were reminded of the three T’s of philanthropy and how the giving of their time, talent, and treasure would make a meaningful difference to children in our community. This service learning experience was capped off on April 29 with a voluntary after-school visit to the Community Center and the delivery of the items. Our children felt enormous pride when they learned that RCS had collected and donated 183 pounds of new school supplies — 55 pounds more than last year!
