Rapides Parish School students and employees can enjoy a Free Dress Day with a $2 donation on Tuesday, Oct. 29
All proceeds will go directly to relief efforts for recent hurricanes across America. This district-wide fundraiser is in partnership with the Rapides Parish School Board and the Rapides Association of Principals and Assistant Principals (RAPAP).
It is a brilliant and unique way to raise much-needed funds for states who helped us in the aftermath of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. Students love free dress days and this is a great opportunity to teach them about philanthropy.
