The money made from the bags of candy, chocolate-covered strawberries and pretzels will go toward projects that benefit the teachers, staff, and students of RBHS. Smith said the organization has helped fund many valuable projects that benefit both students and staff.
“We give scholarships to seniors, we give teacher grants or Bruin grants to teachers when they ask for certain things,” Smith said. “We’ve bought Ping-Pong tables before, we’ve bought some stuff for the lounge before in the past, just anything to help the staff.”
Junior Will Buckley bought chocolate-covered strawberries for his girlfriend, taking advantage of the PTSA fundraiser. The chocolate-covered strawberries from The Candy Factory are one of the specials the PTSA staff sells.
“It’s just a fun thing to do, to get something for your special someone or even just yourself or whatever,” Buckley said. “It’s good just to participate in the holiday and help raise a little money for the school.”
