I
hope that you had a great weekend,
Parking in Front of
School
A
reminder to all RCS parents about pick-up and drop-off time in front of school:
During the busiest times of traffic at school—between 8:00 – 9:00 a.m., at the
11:15 preschool pick-up and 11:45 kindergarten pick-up, and between 3:00 – 3:45
p.m. after school—please do NOT park your vehicle in front of school and run
into school. Parking in front of school
slows down the flow of traffic. If you
must come into school, please find a parking space in the lot and come in. Thanks for your attention to this detail.

Great
job presenting 'The Westing Game' Friday night, 8th graders!! Special thanks goes
to Mrs. Oren for all of the work she put into getting the kids ready to
perform, pulling the many props together, and directing another great play! And
Kelly Tuit, the sets were amazing!
Thanks
also to Katie Rottschafer Sosnowski for help with the set, too! The entire
production is a total team effort.

Conference Night
Babysitting
Parents,
do you need someone to watch your children while you attend Parent-Teacher
Conferences TOMORROW NIGHT, Tuesday, February 11, and NEXT Thursday, February
20? If so, you have a fun and friendly option to choose right here at
school! 8th graders will be offering their babysitting
services, complete with activities planned, from 3:45-8:00 on these Conference
nights in order to raise money for their class trip to Mackinaw City in
May. Take advantage of this convenient and entertaining (or educational
if your child needs to get some homework done!) opportunity, and help to
support the 8th graders with a donation. Sign in/out will be
in the middle school hallway. If you have any questions, feel free to
contact Mrs. Oren (soren@grcs.org). Thanks!
