Rock Supports RROC Clothing Drive!

The Round Rock Opportunity Center (RROC) needs our help with uniforms! Check out the Amazon wish list to provide new adult-size solid gray or black t-shirts (short and long sleeve) and plain belts for the RROC school community.  Donations may be sent directly to RROC from Amazon or brought to the collection bin in the RRHS main office. Your generous donation from this drive provides school uniforms for the RROC campus. Questions? Email clothescloset@roundrockhsptsa.org
