ROGERS RESCUE MISSION 2021 Tis the season for… GIVING BACK! Rogers Middle School returns this holiday season with its annual holiday donation drive efforts, offering a wide variety of options for our generous families to choose from and a range of organizations to support, all the way down to keeping donations hyper-local right within our own Rogers community!This season, the Rogers Rescue Mission under the partnership of Rogers PTA and Rogers Student Council/ASB will be supporting Food Finders, New Life Beginnings, and the shower program at St. Luke’s. Please refer to the image posted above for a full wish-list of items in need by each program. These donations may be dropped off by students in the ASB room off Mustang Park before school. The Rogers Rescue Mission is accepting all listed donation items from Monday 11/29 through the final drop-off date of Wednesday 12/15.

The Rogers front office staff also has brought back the Rogers Giving Tree this holiday season! This is a gift card donation drive and is a program that supports families right here within our own Rogers school community. Gift cards to grocery stores, “big box” stores (like Walmart, Target, etc.), fast-food or fast-casual chain restaurants, and gas cards are requested in any amount that you are able to donate ($5 and up). The Rogers Giving Tree is accepting gift card donation drop-offs from families at the front office anytime during school hours (students may come by the office before school to drop-off) NOW through Wednesday 12/8 (no school 11/22-26).

Rogers PTA is here this holiday season to help support Rogers Student Council and our front office staff with these donation drive efforts. Please remember that while students and families are not obligated to participate, any donations you are able to give are very much appreciated. Please keep an eye on the weekly bulletin in your Canvas login and look to school communications for updates. If you have any questions about these programs, please email rogersmiddleschoolpta@gmail.com (Subject: “Rogers Rescue Mission” for wish-list, in-kind donations -OR- “Rogers Giving Tree” for gift card donations).
