Family Time
Thank you to Mr. Kuiper and Mr. Burgess for leading us in music and speaking about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and how his faith impacted his message of equality for all.
Ask your student about this Family Time.
Next Week’s Family Time
At next week's Family Time, we will be trying something new, led by our 8th graders. All of the K - 8th students will be broken into 11-12 small groups, which will be led by our 8th graders. They will participate in a brief time of devotion around our theme-"In the Hands of the Potter"-and then we will join back together for a time of singing in the Worship Center. Parents are welcome to join us for both the devotional time (you may join a small group to listen in) and/or to join the time of singing; the singing portion will start about 9:00. As always, RCS parents are invited to join our Family Time to worship and learn along with your children at 8:45 every Monday morning.
Hot Lunch
Please remind your children that, if they order hot lunch, they must pick up the item they ordered. We do not want to waste food, and we need to keep accurate counts so that what is ordered in the morning is available at lunch.

we’ll be learning about the history of the National Parks and about the impact preservation has had on the environment in the United States.
Battery Recycling: At the moment, we are not collecting batteries for recycling at school. The drop-off centers we use to use are no longer taking batteries. The students in the Environmental Program are reviewing options for battery recycling and, once they come up with a plan, we will communicate it to the RCS community.
