Reynolds is committed to ensuring no student at our school goes without food over the weekend, when schools meals are not served. The Demon Pantry thanks everyone who contributed to this year’s successful Legacy campaign!
Funds from the PTSA enable pantry volunteers to buy food and toiletries our students need to keep the Demon Pantry supplied each week, and this month we also bought 44 new backpacks, a frequently requested need of students who use the pantry. THANK YOU, generous Reynolds families, for making this possible. Our students feel loved and cared for thanks to you!

If your student could benefit from the Demon Pantry, forms are available in Student Services as well as in our new DP box located near the cafeteria entrance.
