Rio Vista Gives Back

Rio Vista students and staff participated in two charitable drives before winter break: a pajama drive and a canned food drive. We collected 180 pairs of pajamas which Scholastic is distributing to those in need. We also collected over 450 cans of food which were delivered to a local food bank. Way to act with character, Panthers!
