From November 5-9, RMS Student Council will be partnering with RHS Student Council to sponsor a Veterans Week Fundraiser Drive. This fundraiser is to support Operation Gratitude's Active Duty Care Package Program which sends care packages to active service members across the country and around the world. It is the goal of both councils to sponsor 100 care packages. Care packages are $15 each, however, all donations will be greatly appreciated. Student donations will be collected daily during each lunch period. Community donations can be given to any RMS or RHS Student Council member or submitted online at: https://giving.operationgratitude.com/rmsandrhssca
On Saturday, November 10, RMS and RHS Student Councils will be walking from the football field at RHS to the Court Square in honor of Lauderdale County's Veterans. Both councils invite students and community members to join in this walk as we support the County's Veterans Day Parade.
