Rice Lake will be partnering with Jersey Mike's again to help raise money for our school.

November 15th - 17th

Valid Only at: 4190 108th Ave. NE, Blaine, MN - 763-270-0987

Jersey Mike's will donate 50% of our sales to Rice Lake Elementary.

The Rice Lake Student Council is hard at work collecting non-perishable food items
for those in need.

This time of year can be hard for struggling families, so let's all lend a helping hand.

There is still time to bring in non--perishable food items and place in boxes in each classroom.

The food drive runs through Wednesday, November 20th.

The top two classes that bring in the most food items will get a class treat.
The top collectors will get a pizza party and the second class will get popsicles.

All food collected will be donated to our local food shelf.

The PTO Family Movie Night is coming up next week on Friday, November 22nd.

The doors will open at 6:30 and the movie begins promptly at 7:00pm.

Parents must stay with students during the event.

❤️🤍💙On Veterans Day, Monday, November 11th, Rice Lake Students and Staff welcomed many Veterans to Rice Lake for a parade and reception. It was great to see so many families connect with their Veterans.Take a look at the fun pictures below including one of our Wall of Honor.
