Blog Update _ May 7


I hope you had a nice and enjoyable weekend!!!

Mrs. Broersma, 4th grade teacher, is home now and certainly doing much better. She was released from the hospital on Saturday afternoon and is slowly regaining her strength. Please continue to pray for a full
r\recovery for her.

We want to say “Thank You” to Camp Roger for letting us come to visit again this year.
If you see any Camp Roger Staff, say "Thank you!!"

"Family Time"
Thanks to the two Kindergarten classes for leading Family Time today!  Mr. Dave and Pastor Jon from River Rock Church will be leading on May 14th.

"Vending Machine"
The vending machine in the RCS lobby is the newest addition to the campus and something that we are housing on a trial basis to see how it impacts school life and how much it gets used. 
The students have been given the following parameters for its use: (1) teachers may establish what food items are or are not allowed in their classrooms; (2) students should only use the machine at break, noon recess/lunch, or after school.  The machine is there as a resource (since we no longer have a middle school “store”), but if it becomes too much of a distraction, we will consider discontinuing its availability.
If you have questions about it, don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Burgess.

Friendship Festival on Wednesday, May 9

On Wednesday a few students will be going to Ada Christian School to participate in this year's Friendship Festival.  Many school's will be sending students to celebrate our diversity but oneness in Jesus.  We hope that they have a wonderful day together!!!

Congratulations
 to Matthew Blanker, 7th grader, who was the highest RCS scorer at the Trinity Math Triathlon held two weeks ago in Grand Rapids

"Box Tops for Education"
The total collection for this school year resulted in a check for $509.00 from General Mills. This will be used by our 5th grade for their end-of-the-school-year activities. Thank you for being faithful box top collectors. Keep on collecting over the summer months!

Hot Lunch Reminder
The last day hot lunch will be served is Friday, June 1. Students will need to brink sack lunches June 4-6.

"Last Day of School – Thursday, June 7"

Dismissal on Thursday, June 7 will be at 12 noon. There will be no PM RPS busses that day, so parent pick-up of students who use RPS bussing will be necessary. The GRCS busses will be available.

The sixth grade Environmental Classroom will be going to Camp Roger and their GGAs on Wednesday.  On Friday they will be going to the Plainfield Township Water Department  and the Plainfield Waste Water Treatment Facilities.  They are learning about the importance of clean water and protecting the Great Lakes.

Thanks for all that you do for God’s kingdom!
Mr. Dave
