Sep 25 update


Family Time
On Monday morning, September 27, the preschool-2nd graders will be gathering for Family Time in the RCS Worship Center. This will occur from 8:55 to about 9:20 a.m. Parents are invited and encouraged to join us for this time of singing praises to God with your children. Join us in the Worship Center this Monday morning! (Middle school will have a separate Family Time at the start of the day, and the 3rd-5th graders will be going to ArtPrize that morning.)

ArtPrize
What a wonderful day we had yesterday at ArtPrize. The students were excited about the art that they saw and some of our students were able to speak to several artists who had pieces on display. Although the day was enjoyable, it was really just a "sampler plate" of the ArtPrize entries. I would like to encourage you to take your child(ren) down to ArtPrize sometime in the near future and spend additional time at several of the venues. The Environmental Classroom students were able to go to an extra venue when we went to Monroe Community Church where they had many beautiful works on display. In fact, my top vote getter is now at MCC. A special thanks to Pastors Amy and Henry Schenkel, Megan's parents, for inviting us to visit that venue located at 800 Monroe NW. Be sure to check it out!!! I went to ArtPrize with the R.C.M.S. I also went to Monroe Community Church. I enjoyed the day besides the rain!
Thanks Bev for taking me!


Did you know!!
I’m in charge of the monitors? If you took any pictures of the Bike-a-Thon or ArtPrize and want to see them on the monitors, email them to me and I will be glad to put them up!

From thee Environmental Classroom,

Next Tuesday, Sept. 28, the Environmental Classroom has an opportunity to put there faith into action. For the past week there morning devotions have focused on the word "compassion" and how we need to show the compassion of Christ to those around us. Well, late this week RCS received a phone call from the Rockford American Legion Mobile Food Pantry asking for help from students next Tuesday. This will be a beautiful way to put our faith into action considering that one of there devotions was based on Col 3:12.

Until Next Time,
DW
