Parent Letter - 5/17/24

May 17, 2024
By Bill Sharp

Dear Warrior Nation,

In life, we often place our trust in things that are uncertain.  We trust that we will wake up each morning, that the car will start, and that we will travel safely to school and then home again.  In the process, we trust that the other drivers will also pay attention and follow the same road rules.  We trust our family to love us, no matter what.  In all of these cases, we run the risk of someone else not living up to their end, which can lead to disappointment or even injury.

Thankfully, we have a place we can go and trust that will never fail.  Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”  To trust is to believe completely that what is said will indeed happen.  This scripture tells us that when we completely trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior and believe that he has our entire life in his hands, that he will never leave our side.  It DOESN’T say that life will be easy.  The part about “making our path straight” means that as we walk along the road of life, God will be with us to help us walk every step and ensure we can walk out whatever we face.  What are you trusting in today?

This is a reminder that graduation will occur next Friday, 24 May, at 5:00 p.m. at Open Door Baptist Church on Belmont Rd. There will be a reception in the church fellowship hall immediately following the ceremony. If you cannot attend in person, we will broadcast the event as well. Mr. Spriggs will send the link to it next week. Join me in congratulating the students and families of the Class of 2024!

If you want to host a French or Spanish teen this summer, visit this link for more information.  There are still 13 more students yet to find placements for the summer.  Host a foreign student and make unforgettable memories!

New enrollment for next year continues, but a few grades are starting to get close to full.  If you know someone interested in pursuing Christian education for their children, have them reach out to the front office at 804-276-3193 to schedule a tour and see all the great things God is doing here at RCS!

Be sure to track the newsletters from your principal, as they are full of dates, events, and reminders for the last four weeks of school. Please pray for new staff and new families to join Warrior Nation. Thank you in advance for your partnership to finish strong!

May the Lord bless you this weekend.

All 4 Him!
