RMMS Food Pantry Project - How it All Began...
During the 2018-2019 school year, a group of Grade 3 math students partnered with the Brookline Food Pantry to conduct monthly targeted donation drives at RMMS. These students are now 5th Grade students at CSDA! đź’™ đź’™ đź’™ đź’™
The students collected donations at both RMMS and various school-related events throughout the school year. With the hard work driven by this group of students, our school made a significant impact on the Brookline community! The group collected a grand total of 2,483 food and non-food items. The breakdown of the food items equaled 23,205.25 ounces of food, or 1,450.34 pounds of food! Detailed food pantry data for the school year can be found here.

RMMS Food Pantry Project Continues
2019-2020 ~ Year #2
The entire Grade 3 student population continued the RMMS Food Pantry Project during the 2019-2020 school year. Each month a different Grade 3 class performed math calculations on all of the donated items. We are so proud to continue our partnership with the Brookline Food Pantry on this project! Unfortunately, our school year and our donations were cut short due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

New this year we added a Cereal Box Domino Challenge! We collected almost 700 cereal boxes during the months of October and November. On Monday, November 15th RMMS held our first ever Cereal Box Domino Fall! The cereal boxes were set up from one end of RMMS to the other. Students gathered in the hallways and watched as the boxes fell, domino style.
Thank you for your continued generosity and support, and for making a difference in our community!
