The RMHS A World of Difference Club (AWOD) has recently created the Rocket’s Closet, a collection of free items that students can access in the guidance office.

Rocket’s Closet is a convenient and discrete way for RMHS students to take and use various necessities. All students are welcome to take items from the closet. Advisor of the A World of Difference Club,  English teacher Mrs. Williams, says she was inspired by her own kids’ school in North Andover for the idea. “My children attended North Andover High School, and they had something similar,” Williams says, “and I thought, man, why can’t we bring something like that to RMHS?” Ever since Williams proposed the idea in the beginning of the school year, the AWOD club has been eagerly working to make this project a reality. 

Donation boxes can be found outside the main office, in guidance, and around the school. According to Williams, there is so much to donate to the closet. “There are backpacks, school supplies, toiletries, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, shoes. Just about anything I think a student might need is in there.” Other donations accepted are personal hygiene products such as deodorant, soap, toothbrushes, hair brushes, and hair ties. New socks, underwear, and winter gear are other appreciated donations.
