Community Organizations Donate Food, Dictionaries To Rochester City School Students

School No. 9 Students Receive “Food for Thought”

Students from School No. 9, 485 N. Clinton Avenue, will receive a donation of food to take home over the upcoming spring recess through a partnership with Christ Church. The food will be handed out to students on Wednesday, April 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria. School staff, student council members, and volunteers from the church will participate.

The “Food for Thought” initiative was created to help promote School No. 9’s slogan, “While on vacation, think about your education.” Soon after students return from spring recess, May testing will begin. Nutritious food over the recess will help students prepare for the tests and a successful completion of the school year. (Contact: Sharon Delly, 325-7828)
