Warrior News

Dear Parents and Families of RCS,

I remember a few years ago, a commercial on TV about a family at the dinner table where the parents asked their student, "What did you do at school today?" to which he replied, "we did this, then that was over…then we did that, then that was over…" It is easy for us as adults to look at the tasks before us and view them in the same way; finishing a task and saying "then that was over" so we can move on to the next task.  When we place a focus on God in the task, it takes on a whole new purpose.  We do it as unto Him, not as unto our checklist.  Psalm 40:8 says, "I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart." As we make plans and preparations for the coming year, let us delight in doing God's will in all we seek to accomplish, knowing His way and plan are perfect.

A sincere, heartfelt "thank you" is to the parents and families that volunteered time and food to make our new teachers feel incredibly welcome to Warrior Nation.  If this type of service interests you, please reach out to Mrs. Patton, the Elementary Principal, to see if there are plans and needs for next week when all staff are back on campus.

Speaking of next week, here are some upcoming events to note:
