The Raider Café Crew took on a new project this past week, the Snack Pack Initiative. The initiative was purposed to the Forest City-Manito Rotary Club, and they were excited to financially support the idea. We are so grateful the Rotary Club supported our vision to provide additional support to our students. Not only did we provide healthy snack packs to some of our students, our Raider Café crew was provided another opportunity to learn more job related skills. We are a part of a supportive community, and we wanted to extend our gratitude to the Forest City-Manito Rotary Club was seeing our vision and allowing it to come to life. Raider Nation!!!!
