ROCHELLE — Approximately 200 sixth grade students at Rochelle Middle School assembled care packages early Friday for those in need in the Rochelle area.
Each of the nearly 90 bags contained personal care items such as toothbrushes, combs, deodorant and shampoo. Along with the items, the students also made greeting cards and decorations for the bags.
RMS teacher Beth Hahn came up with the idea based off of this year’s motto, Pass It On. So far this year the students held a canned food drive and have collected pennies for the hurricane victims.
