EDUCATION NEWS: Area school leaders cite state study as endorsing their reforms
The student council is sponsoring a stewardship drive. They are collecting gently used kitchen items to donate to families who are just moving in to their first apartments. The extra expense of these items is often too much to add to the monthly rent. The goal is to provide basic needs for stocking a kitchen so they can cook to provide for their families.
The high school cross country team is partnering with Mission in Motion to collect shoes for Africa. They are collecting gently used shoes at school and delivering them to Mission in Motion. The students also volunteer at Mission in Motion to pair shoes and prepare them for shipping. On their first visit they bagged 720 shoes. Shoes will be redistributed and used in developing nations for impoverished people who do not have shoes.
Along with being named Duke Energy School of the Week, the school was awarded a check for $1,000 from Duke Energy. Royalmont is excited to use these funds for student programs throughout the year.
Royalmont Academy is located at 200 Northcrest Drive in Mason.
