REFI Cafe a Hit at YDAS

"Your Day at School" on Oct. 12 started in a new way this year thanks to the REFI Council Members. The council decided to sell hot beverages and hot, fresh, made-on-site donuts as a fundraiser to benefit the Rockingham Educational Foundation, Inc. 700 donuts and coffee, decaf, hot chocolate, hot tea and water bottles were sold before the in-service day began. Hundreds of educators gathered in the TAHS commons room to share a cup of coffee, a donut and some social time.

Thanks goes to the REFI Council, which is made up of one representative per school.
