Sep 27

How are we already to the end of September? September just flew right on by.

This is a few reminders for all my good friends at RC.

Bike-a-thon is happening this week. Pledges are due tomorrow! Remember, this is the only fundraiser that we hopefully we will do this school year. The more money we can raise, the more this is a likely thing! Help your child call everyone that your family knows, but please make sure you have your kids ask before they call anyone!! We are in need of healthy snack options for the day of the bike-a-thon. Please send these items in with your son/daughter.

As a school community, we have the great privilege to make a difference in the lives of those children who are hospitalized at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital by donating new toys, coloring books, crayons, markers, etc. All during this week, we will be collecting these items in large white boxes in the front lobby. Then on Friday night, we are encouraging everyone to attend the Grand Rapids Christian High Eagles v. East Grand Rapids High Pioneers football game. All of the students will be given a special t-shirt to wear supporting the "Hearts of Gold" fundraiser. This will be a fun family event to go to with your friends from the Rockford Christian community. I am probably not going to be there but you never know!!!

This week Friday is one of the greatest days of the year, Grandfriend's Day. Please be sure to try to have someone, whether it's a friend of the family, an aunt, or an uncle join us on Friday morning. The students each brought home an invitation to deliver/send to their special guest. We only sent home one per child knowing that many students have siblings at school. If you need an extra, please e-mail their teacher. Their teacher will be glad to send another one home. Also, if you simply do not have anyone available for your child, which I understand, please let me know that as well and I will try to go in the room if I can. Thursday is the pre-school friends' Grandfriend's Day!!

The 8th grade is over-night at Camp Roger. Pray that they have a GREAT time and they are safe!

Thank you for letting me to get to know your children more!
until next tine
