Dear Parents and Families of RCS,

Welcome to 2026 and the start of the second semester!!  For Team Sharp, it was a different holiday with both boys married and out of the house – Christmas day was very quiet!  I hope your time with family and friends was amazing and blessed!!

As we prepare for the first of three Open House events on Thursday, 22 January, I am reminded of our Vision Statement:  Educating Hearts and Minds For Christ.  So, in preparation for Open House, I want to bring back previously shared info about RCS for you to share with your family, friends, and colleagues, along with an invitation to register for this event.  To kick things off over the next couple of weeks, we start with the question:  Why RCS?  I will briefly touch on the following points and will expound on them at Open House:

• Christian Educators - First and foremost, ALL staff members at RCS (including support staff, coaches, and substitutes) have a personal testimony of salvation and demonstrate a relationship with Christ.  If we are going to “Educate Hearts and Minds for Christ”, we need all staff that understand that charge and live it out on a daily basis.
• Christian Learning Environment - From that perspective, teachers and staff take opportunities throughout the day to pray with students and for students.  They open class with prayer, take prayer requests, and spend time discipling students to help them grow in their faith.  Weekly chapel services bring each division together to praise God and hear from His Word.  Discipleship groups spend time together in small group prayer and Bible study, helping them to learn God’s Word and apply it to their lives.
• Christian-Based Curriculum - ALL subjects from Pre-K to 12th grade have Biblical Integration built into the learning.  That means students will hear about Jesus no matter what subject they are studying.  Most of the textbooks used in classes are written by Christian publishers; the ones that aren’t have teachers building the Biblical Integration into the content.

Join us this Saturday for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate 2025-26 homecoming.  The schedule is as follows:

• 9:30-11:30 – Little Warriors basketball and cheerleaders
• 11:30 – 1:00 – Alumni Basketball game
• 2:15 – 3:30 – MS Boys basketball vs. New Community
• 3:30 – 4:30 – Homecoming court featuring DJ Hauser
• 5:00 – 6:30 – Varsity Boys basketball vs. New Community

We will be broadcasting the MS and Varsity games LIVE – be on the lookout for the text links.  See you there!

Finally, be on the lookout for re-enrollment emails next week.  As always, our current families have the opportunity to re-enroll their students for the next school year prior to any new families.  Submit your re-enrollments early to secure your students’ spots for 2026-27.

Blessings,
 

Bill Sharp, M.Ed.
