Blog Update January 5, 2015

Happy New Year R.C.S. family! May 2015 be a VERY blessed year!

Something new I’m trying

If your student at Rockford Christian School would like to make a project,  I will take a photo of it and I will put it on the RCS monitors.  The other choice is for you to take the picture and send it to me at DWorst@GRCS.ORG. Please make all projects snow related. 

The cold weather is here, so dress for the weather!

Please be sure to wash your hands, and keep your kids home if they are sick.

Winter Weather Reminders

Just a reminder that we do go outside for recess during the winter months. Please be sure that your child arrives to school prepared with adequate outdoor dress (coats, boots, snowpants, mittens/gloves, hats, etc.) Thank you!
