February 21 - News and Notes!

Rolling Valley Families,

Even though we didn’t get snow here, it still made an impact! Our 4th-grade field trip to Richmond, originally scheduled for Wednesday, had to be rescheduled due to the snow expected in that area.

Looking ahead to next week, a reminder that Silver Diner Night is happening on Thursday, February 27th—we hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend, and see you all on Monday!

Veronica Del Bagno

Student Fasting Meal Kits for February 28 - March 28

Thanks to a new program from the Virginia Department of Education, students who are fasting during the school day between February 28 and March 28 can now take school meal kits home at the end of the day. Families will need to fill out a weekly Fasting Meals Request Form for their child or children to receive school meal kits. A separate form must be filled out for each week and each student. To receive meal kits for Friday, February 28, and the week of March 3, please submit the first request form by Monday, February 24. Visit the FNS webpage for more information, including weekly request forms and deadlines.
