Project Zen Succulent Sale at Holiday Bazaar
|
Ms.Malsbury’s Virtual Enterprise class made their first appearance as a business at the Holiday Bizarre, hosted here last weekend. Virtual Enterprise aims to bring the workplace into the classroom and teach students through the experience of running a virtual business. This year, the VE company “Project Zen” is selling subscription boxes that provide stress relief by targeting the five senses; one of the most popular products in the box being succulents. Although the business is rooted online, the sales of tangible products, such as succulents, help aid them in reaching fundraising goals.The overall goal set within the company is to reach a profit from their sales of $2000, which will allow them to qualify to attend trade shows in Chicago and New York City.

RHS Non-Perishable Food Drive
|
Next Week, November 18-22, is Rochester High School's Annual Non-Perishable Food Drive. Our Goal is 5,000 Cans, and we will be collecting each day in the Media Center before, during, and after school.
In addition, before each performance of the musical, we will be collecting cans and money in order to reach our goal. On Tuesday, we will have a Breakfast Blitz, in which during 1st Hour, classes will race to collect the most money. The class that raises the most gets a Pancake Breakfast provided by Red Olive. Friday Morning, we will be having our first ever Frappe Friday - Either a Caramel Coffee, Vanilla bean or Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino will cost 5 cans or $3. The grade that collects the most cans will receive a prize, so start donating! |

MiCareer Quest Field Trip
45 Students from RHS attended a career field trip to Suburban Showplace in Novi, Michigan. It was a career exploration unlike any other, designed to spark students curiosity and introduce them to many of today's most in-demand occupations in southeast Michigan and across the state. If anyone has any questions please see Mrs. Cosentino, Mrs. Messing or Mrs. Malsbury.

Blessings in a Backpack
The Students in Mrs. Cosentino’s class, along with their family members, Mrs. Cox, Ms. Burke, volunteered with packaging up food for our local Blessings in a Backpack organization. Blessings In a Backpack is a “neighbor-helping-neighbor” program that is designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children and families. Each week, volunteers, distribute bags with enough non-perishable food for the weekend for students in our district. The goal of the Blessings in a Backpack program is to keep these students from going hungry on the weekends and remove barriers to academic success. We would like to thank Rochester High School parent, Mrs. Kim Williams for coordinating and leading this wonderful organization in our community.
