Our first Bulldogs Care Day is coming up on September 22. This year, teachers are planning several ways for students to give back to the community. They need the community’s help, though, to purchase supplies for projects that include making gift bags for health care workers, sprucing up the outdoor classroom at RCS, painting a mural, painting rocks for motivation, painting canvases with encouraging messages, and much more. Donations of items, money or gift cards can be used to satisfy volunteer hours. Items needed include:
Acrylic paint, paint brushes, paper plates for paint, styrofoam cups for water to clean brushes, blank canvases.
Individually bagged snack items, mini cans of soda, mini bottles of water breath mints, gum.
Rocks, paint, acrylic spray.
Paint brushes, rollers and wall paints (all colors).
Bottled water, gum, cheese crackers, (Nabs) peanuts, chips, small candies that won’t melt, brown paper lunch bags.
Pine needle bales.
Lowe’s or Rolling Hills gift cards, large pots and decorative containers.
