The holiday meal was held at Russell Jr-Sr High School today, and the students and staff did a fantastic job!! The food was amazing. It’s wonderful to see students and staff coming together to create a memorable holiday meal, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the food service staff, JAG-K Program, and Mrs. Kasselman's FACS classes. Such collaborations not only celebrate the holiday spirit but also foster a strong sense of community and teamwork among everyone involved.
