Donation Drive for Jamaica

Ms. Gordon, one of our amazing 2nd grade teachers, is from Jamaica — where her family still lives. In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, we’re coming together as a community to support families in need.

We’re collecting the following items to send relief to those affected:

🕊️ Non-perishable food items

💧 Bottled water

🧼 Hygiene products (soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc.)

👶 Baby supplies (diapers, wipes, formula)

📍 Drop-off Location: Royal Oaks School of the Arts

📅 Dates: November 3rd – November 14th

Let’s show our Rocket spirit and help make a difference for the people of Jamaica! 💚💛🖤

Soups and Ceramics

Royal Oaks is proud to announce our first annual "Soups and Ceramics” event. This event is a unique, student-led fundraising event that brings together creativity, culinary skills, and community spirit for a great cause.

The event will be a collaborative effort between ROSA (Royal Oaks School of the Arts) students and CHS (Concord High School) students, culminating in a one-night-only event on November 20th from 5-7pm, where families are invited to enjoy a warm bowl of soup in a handcrafted ceramic bowl — all while donating profits into local food distribution charities.
