Dear Parents and Families of RCS,

As I was looking into the mirror this morning, I began to reflect…..on all that God has done throughout the campus this school year.  For my final regular installment of the Friday Letter, I want to recap some of the highlights of campus improvements accomplished this year.  To improve campus security, we have installed a new fire alarm control panel, upgraded to a new phone/intercom system throughout the campus, panic bar system installed on the Chapel doors, and established a partnership with Chesterfield County Police to link our video security system directly to their call center.  In addition, members of the RCS staff have received security certification training through the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice.  Our campus is more up-to-date with the installment of new HVAC units in the resource wing, cafeteria, and library, and updated servers and network infrastructure.  To improve the curb appeal, outside walls on most buildings have been repainted (with the rest being completed this summer), all high school windows have been repaired and capped in aluminum, rebuilt front entrance overhang, remodeled library, and replacement of the gym entrance posts with PVC moldings.

As this is being written, we are finalizing plans for the next round of campus repairs and improvements to be completed by two Missions teams from Calvary Chapel in Quakertown, PA, who will be arriving on campus on June 4th.  Currently, the gym floor renovation project is in high gear, as the old surface is almost completely removed, and repairs continue.  Over the coming weeks, new lines and surface sealer will be applied, followed by the installation of new bleachers toward the end of the summer.  If you are considering a tax-deductible donation to this awesome project or would like to share the link with family and friends, go here to access the GoFundMe page or visit our website for updates.  Please be in prayer for this and the many other upcoming summer projects, as well as the Mission teams coming on campus this summer.

As we celebrate the Class of 2023 graduation this weekend, I leave them (and you) with this thought from Psalm 84:11 as a word of encouragement for the graduates as they endeavor to impact the world for Christ: “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor.  No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

May the Lord bless you with peace, rest, and abundant Grace this summer.  You will be missed here on campus, and we look forward to seeing you all again in August.  It is an honor to serve you, your students, and all of Warrior Nation!!  I will drop the occasional update in your inbox this summer regarding the goings-on around campus.  Please let me know how I can be praying for you and your family throughout the summer.

Blessings,

Bill Sharp, M.Ed.
