I hope that you had a great weekend and a good Veterans Day!

Please pray for all those along the east coast of the United States, recovering from Hurricane Sandy.

Scholastic Book Fair
The sale will be held the week after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26 – 30.  Books make great Christmas presents!  Proceeds from the sale will benefit the library at RCS.

TRIP news
On Nov. 20th, RCS will have the extra Christmas inventory.
RCS TRIP:   Regular hours; Open 8-10 a.m. :-)in the RCS lobby! 

Ski Club
Snow will be falling before you know it!! One of the BEST ways to have fun all winter long is to head over to CANNONSBURG for some skiing or boarding. RCS will once again be forming a Ski & Board Club. We had a great time last year, meeting twice a week to try and accommodate multiple schedules. And, we always had a cooler full of free Gatorade for thirsty students. This year, we would love to have 3 different themed nights:

1)     Cookies and hot chocolate
2)     Nachos and cheese
3)     Hot dogs and chips!
*We will start meeting right after Christmas break, and continuing through the month of February.

CANNONSBURG gives out special student rates when purchased in advance through our club. Parents- you too can get a reduced rate!! (These are still the same prices as last year!!!)
*Purchase your card now through our RCS club.
All forms & checks are due into the main office by November 16.
Lord willing, their tentative opening date is Thanksgiving Day.

P.E. News
11/14 – 11/15 – Scooter Games

Feed our Gator!
Help us double our Paper Gator earnings during the month of November by "feeding" it extra from November 1-22. Money earned from the Paper Gator helps support the environmental programs at RCS. Thank you for your support!
