• Start planning for our final Spirt Day of 2021. Friday, December 17 will be tacky holiday sweater day. Get creative and see how festive you can be on the last day of school before Winter Break.

• This holiday season, Robious will be participating in a food drive. This food drive will benefit Feed More, and help countless hungry neighbours in our community. You will see a box by the front office. Please bring in food to donate. The final collection day is Friday December 17th. There's a huge need for peanut butter, cereal, soup, oatmeal, and vegetables. Let's see if we can help collect 2,000 pounds of food. Thank you!

• Curbside meal pickup during December

Five days of breakfasts and lunches for children under the age of 18 are distributed curbside 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at several sites. However, curbside meal pickup will not take place Dec. 21 and Dec. 28 when schools are closed for winter break, so the Dec. 14 pickup will include three weeks of meals to cover through Jan. 4, when curbside pickup resumes.

Curbside meal pickup sites are Bon Air Elementary, Crenshaw Elementary, Matoaca Elementary, Carver Middle, Manchester Middle, Providence Middle, Salem Church Middle, Bird High, Cosby High, Thomas Dale High, Meadowbrook High, Monacan High and CTC@Hull. Children do not have to be present for pickup.

You put the US in RobioUS!
