Blog Update Tuesdayy, December 3, 2013

I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family
 
Thank you, River Rock Church, for decorating the worship center!

Geo Bee 

Students in grades 4-8 recently competed in a classroom round of the Geography Bee.  Several students from each grade will be competing in the tiebreaker round and/or final round in our School Geography Bee on Friday, December 6, in our Worship Center from 2:25-3:10.  You are welcome to join us for this lively bee; we hope to see you there!

Jingle Bell Post Office is open!

To help you "ring" in the holidays, the First Graders will be running the Jingle Bell Post Office, Once again, stamps and stationary will be available (for the low cost of 1 nickel) to you as well so that you can send letters/cards to your kiddos at school!

RCS Apparel

Looking for a Christmas present for your RCS student(s)? We now have RCS t-shirts and sweatshirts available in youth and adult sizes in Carolina Blue. The adult jackets have arrived; a sample is hanging in the office window. The jacket is available in both mens and ladies sizes. We are clearing out our "pink" Eagle t's for $5.
Bus Evacuation Drills

This week, December 2-6, our students will be practicing bus evacuation drills in order to ensure safety in the rare event of a bus evacuation.  We wanted to keep you informed of our efforts to maintain student safety while on the bus.


Emergency School Closings

When inclement weather makes it necessary to cancel school, announcements are made over the following radio and television stations: WOOD AM 1300, and TV Channels 8 and 13. If Rockford Public Schools are closed or on a delay, RCS is also closed or on a delay and will be listed separately. A delay will result in no before-school care, no morning kindergarten, no preschool and no Kids’ Club. If the delay happens on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, class for afternoon kindergarten enrichment students will begin at 12 noon that day.

We are excited that Rockford Christian School students and staff are signed up to participate in Hour of Code!   During the week of December 9-15, GRCS students in grades K-12 will be participating in “Hour of Code”, a campaign that is inviting 10 million students from around the world to try out the basics of computer science.  For more information:  http://csedweek.org/

6th Grade Environmental Classroom

This week the students in the EC program will be visiting the shelters that we constructed by their classmates at Camp Roger.  These shelters took te students over one month to construct.  Models of their finished shelters can be seen in the 6th grade hallway.  Be sure to check these models out sometime!
