Things to Know this Week (Jan 12)
RCS Families,
This week, the sense of God’s guidance and provision for Renton Christian was unmistakable. I reflected on the many things that God is orchestrating. The first reflection is about our teachers. The love and dedication of our teachers is amazing. I have received several emails from parents with specific appreciation for their student’s teacher and the way they served their family. Our teachers are the secret sauce of our school! If you have a story to celebrate, please email me. It is such an encouragement to me and our team. The second reflection is about our entire team. Our team is unified and aligned to accomplish our mission to disciple students through Christ-centered education. The third reflection is regarding unexpected opportunities. I have had conversations this week that are clearly God ordained that could significantly propel our mission forward. My last reflection is about our parents. Thank you for your continued partnership and encouragement. It is an honor to partner with you in developing your students into the men and women of God He desires them to become. I am humbled by God’s guidance and provision. There are some exciting days ahead for Renton Christian!
Here are a few of things to know this week:
