I hope you had a good weekend with your friends and family! It was beautiful out!
The snow can go away and can come back in December!
Highlights from the home bulletin
Sunflower Seeds Sale
The first graders of RCS are selling sunflower seeds grown and harvested in their own First Grade Garden. Packages of 30 seeds are being sold for 50 cents each. All proceeds from their sales will go directly to Kids' Food Basket. Now is the time for planting! The first graders would like your help in sowing these seeds in many different places! Please consider buying packages for neighbors, relatives, and friends. Packages of sunflower seeds are available for purchase in the RCS office and during morning recess by the first grade classroom. Thank you for your support!
Book Drive
We have an opportunity to bless students in the Grand Rapids Public Schools with books to encourage and inspire them over the summer. As you are spring cleaning and you find any children's books that you would like to donate, please send them to school with your child. We will have a box in the library to collect the books and we will be collecting until June 3.
