Things to Know (Sept 15)

RCS Families,

Sept. 15th, 2023

What an incredible first two weeks of our school year! I talked with two different parents yesterday who said they loved how their kids came home happy every day and how excited each morning they were to come to school. It is so encouraging seeing so many smiling faces coming into school every day. Thank you for trusting us with your precious children. I can’t wait to see what God continues to do in the life of each student this year. 

Here are a couple of things to know this week:

New! Serve @ RCS Website

Yesterday we launched our new serving platform for Renton Christian School. We have already seen 184 serving opportunities filled! I love how involved our parents are in the life of Renton Christian. Involved parents lead to successful students. There are many serving opportunities still available for you to make a difference. Find a way to get involved today at www.rentonchristian.org/serve.  

Pray for RCS High School Property

This Sunday, September 17, the organization who owns the land we are trying to purchase for the RCS High School is voting on the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Their board has approved the PSA terms, this Sunday’s vote is with their entire membership. Please pray that they vote to approve the sale! Our team is excited to continue the property feasibility process and begin the entitlement and architectural design process. CLICK HERE to learn more about the RCS High School.

Mexico Missions Trip for 6^th – 8^th grade | Last Info Meeting | September 18^th 

We want each student to develop an outward focused perspective. On our Profile of a Student framework, we call this being missionally minded. One way we do this is through middle school missions trips. This year we are combining two trips into one large trip as we partner with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) to build three homes for families in Mexico (Baja California) who have inadequate housing. The trip is open to all 6^th – 8^th grade students and will take place during Easter Break, April 1-5, 2024. Our last informational meeting is this Monday, September 18^th at 4pm in the small chapel across from the school office. CLICK HERE to sign-up for the trip. Deadline to sign up is September 22, 2023.

Have a great weekend! 

Thanks,

Randy McMillan
