Good evening Rich Township High School families,
As a reminder, the Grand Opening of the new Rich Township High School Food Pantry will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, November 28th, at 5:00 PM at the Fine Arts and Communication campus.
The Food Pantry is a significant addition to our community, offering support to families in need. The Grand Opening is not only a celebration but also an opportunity for our school families to sign up and receive support from the Food Pantry.
Please note, for those attending, parking is available near the fieldhouse entrance, Door F12, located on the East side of the campus, near the baseball field. We encourage you to use this entrance for easy access to the event.
Join us in this important initiative to support our community. We look forward to seeing you there and appreciate your participation in making this event a success.
Thank you, and have a great evening!
