“Write-On” Student Club: Holiday Edition

RVS Houses Battle Hunger in Charity Food Drive

Written by Raveena, Bella and Brooklyn

This week RVS students have been bringing in food and non-perishable items to support families who are in need at this time of year.

All week students have brought in all kinds of food like cereal, pasta, rice, toys, and more.

Students can also earn points for their RVS houses by bringing in the most items and foods. The house which contributes most items to the food drive will have a casual dress day in the New Year! The winner gets 100 points! Second place gets 75 points and third will get 50.

Happy Holidays from all the journalists at Write On! Club


At River Valley School, we encourage students to dive into areas of interest and discover new passions through our lunchtime co-curricular student clubs.

Our Write-On club is open to students in grades 4, 5 and 6. During our time together we explore different types of writing that interest our students. Please watch for more “Write-On” articles, stories, poems, comics and more!
