Please see the flyer for the specific theme days and thanks in advance for any and all donations to help those in need in our community!
Little Rocket Families,
Please join us in wishing our friend, Sgt Lind well as he recovers from his injuries. We are asking the students and staff to wear blue to support our local law enforcement on November 22, 2022. Thank you.
NHS is extending the Toys for Tots drive through Tuesday, November 22nd. We would love your help in collecting new toys for families in need this holiday season. Toys can be dropped off at any elementary school. The junior and senior high school are in a second hour competition— whichever class brings the most toys will win a donut party!
The NHS is collecting new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots. If you can make a donation, please send it to Taylor Ridge or Illinois City with your child or drop it by between 9 AM and 1 PM. Let's fill the boxes!
Winter weather means school closings and event cancellations. Download the Rockridge App to make sure you receive all the alerts!
