River Rock has opened the doors to the Student Space. Beginning

As in past years, grade levels will take turns using the Student Space each
Tuesday.

Environmental Classroom News
This week the 6th grade Environmental Classroom
students will be doing their recycling presentations. In this
presentation they will be introducing
a new recycling project to RCS--Drink Pouch Brigade!! (CapriSun
and other brands of empty drink pouches). Each classroom will receive a
container for your students to put in their empty juice pouches. No drink
boxes, please. Every two weeks the EC students will come around and
collect the pouches. All your students will need to do is to simply
place the empty pouches in the container (straws left in are ok).
Rockford Christian Environmental Fund will receive money from Terracycle
for the drink pouches. A win-win for everyone!!!!

No School -
CEA Convention
Just a reminder
that here at RCS, we focus on Harvest rather than Halloween. We do
have a handful of families who carefully avoid all Halloween activities and
appreciate us doing the same at school.
Thanks for all that you do for God’s kingdom!
Mr. Dave
