A Note from Mr. Burgess
PTO Meeting - February 11
The next meeting of the Rockford Christian PTO is this week Thursday, February 11th, at 6:30 p.m. in the RCS Library. Any RCS parents interested in being involved at school and looking to help with community-building and other school-wide events are welcome and encouraged to attend.
WinterFest - February 18
The first event is our 2nd annual RCS WinterFest, which will be held this year at Camp Roger, just a few miles up Belding Road. It will be held on Thursday, February 18, from 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. (FYI: There is no school on Friday, February 19, or Monday, February 22.) Camp Roger is a wonderful partner with us at RCS, and we are excited to host the event there this year and to let RCS parents who have never experienced Camp get a taste. To RSVP for WinterFest click here.
Also, in order to make WinterFest a success, we need lots of teachers/parents to help by either bringing something for our dinner or volunteering 30 minutes of your time to either oversee an activity or help with setup/cleanup. Please click here to volunteer.

During their stay they will be learning about winter survival and water quality. They will be learning how important water is to us and how we need to protect this resource that God has given us.
