Seniors Christian and Laila, members of Educators Rising, (just one of the many RTHS clubs and organizations getting involved in the Dodging Hunger Initiative) spent some time visiting 5th hour study halls today to spread a little Thanksgiving spirit, and the word about our upcoming DODGING HUNGER FOOD DRIVE and DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT!
These two events are all about giving back ! Every donation will help stock the shelves of the brand new RTHS Hub Cupboard (pantry) and support the Rochelle Christian Food Pantry.
The Food Drive runs the week of November 17th, and our Dodging Hunger Dodgeball Tournament will take place on Monday, November 24th at 6 PM.
We invite the public to join the fun, cheer on the teams, and help fight hunger in our community. Admission is a free-will donation or a non-perishable food item.....and rumor has it, there’s bound to be a turkey sighting or two! 🦃

RTHS would like to congratulate Hailey Newlun, a senior at RTHS, on being named the Rotary Student of the Month for September 2025.
Hailey has made a remarkable impact through her volunteerism, dedicating an impressive 449 hours to Silver Service Volunteer work throughout her high school years. This achievement has earned her the distinguished honor of wearing the Silver Cord at graduation.
Her volunteer contributions are extensive and varied. Her efforts span a wide range of activities, including assisting with various tasks at the Creston Library and supporting events such as Art in the Park, the Creston Fire Department Pancake Breakfast, and Creston Booster Days—where she sold tickets, served food, and helped children create bracelets. She has also volunteered at RMS and Creston concession stands, assisted with cleaning the Creston Opera House, helped at the RTHS Art Camp, and provided childcare at the Creston Methodist Church.
Hailey is known for her willingness to help others—babysitting, assisting neighbors and friends with chores, and supporting teachers in their classrooms. She has also served as a library monitor during her study halls at RTHS.
Hailey plans to pursue a career in speech pathology and is currently gaining valuable experience by working alongside the speech pathologist at Lincoln School as part of her work-based learning. She is also an active member of the RTHS chapter of Educators Rising, an organization that prepares future educators.
Thank you, Hailey, for your outstanding dedication to both RTHS and the community. We wish you continued success in all your future endeavors!
