Extra Credit #6

Extra Credit Opportunity - Season of Giving Challenge

Each year Reynolds High School gives back to those in need during the holiday season. Students and staff are asked to make donations in any of the following ways:

Hygiene Items
Nonperishable Food Items
New or gently used Toys
New or gently used Clothing
New Socks
Giving Tree Star

Each year in Focus Class we offer a challenge to our students to see which "House" can bring the most items in for donation. Each Focus teacher will provide Extra Credit as means to motivate and reward our students for their thoughtful donations. Students are asked to give their donations directly to their Focus teacher instead of to the RHS Giving collection area. Each item will be counted individually and a total tally will be kept for each House. On Wednesday next week, we will recognize the winning house and transfer the Focus donations to the RHS Season of Giving collection area.

12/5 & 12/8

Today students will continue working on their "Without Fail" speeches. Students should have developed a rough draft and will be working to create note cards and a visual aid to assist them in their speeches. Speeches will take place 12/9 & 12/10.
