Adopt-a-Whirlwind: Each year, Student Council sponsors an event called Adopt-a-Whirlwind. Whirlwind tags will be on a Christmas tree in the library. The tags represent students here at RJHS who are in need this holiday season. The tags include 5 items these students have wished for. Please encourage your child, if able, to participate in this program to help a fellow student. If your child chooses a tag, please have him/her bring back the gifts unwrapped by December 17th. Student Council will organize the gifts and wrap them. Please email Haley Jackson if you have any questions, haley.jackson@rsdk12.net.
