I’m almost convinced Texas only has 2 seasons, summer and winter. I must say it sure is nice having some cooler weather. 
Today is the beginning of Week 9 and report cards will be sent out next Thursday. Please get with your child to ensure they are on target to complete their projection goals. If you have any questions please reach out to your child’s teacher. 
Christmas in October report - We had a great time! Everyone seemed to have fun playing the Christmas-themed games, playing outside, eating the nachos and hotdogs, and we had a special appearance from the Dan Band! Didn’t the band do a great job?! 
Here are the Christmas in October Learning Center Winners:
LC 3 Mrs. Jeanette’s Class and LC 6 Mr. Dan’s Class

I want to give a big THANK YOU, to everyone who had a part in decorating, volunteering at the game stations, serving food, and most importantly those who donated toys. Because of your generosity, we will be able to bless many families for Christmas. 
Veterans Chapel Service - We are still looking for Veterans who would like to speak at Chapel on Wednesday, November 8. If you would like to speak to the kids or know someone interested, please let your child’s teacher know so we can contact them. 
Field Trips - Your child’s teacher will be contacting you soon to share field trip information, for those who met their requirements during the 1st nine weeks. 
Thanksgiving Can Food Drive - On November 1, we will start collecting canned food and non-perishable food items for the RBC Food Pantry. The RBC Food Pantry serves the community with groceries twice a month and during the holiday seasons, they see an increase in families needing assistance. To encourage the kids to bring food items we will have a pizza party for the class that collects the most food.  
Christmas Play at RBC - Last year the kids did a fabulous job putting on the Christmas play and many students regretted not getting involved. As crazy as it might seem, Christmas is right around the corner! Below you will find a link to sign up your child for the Christmas play. This year Mr. Dan and Mrs. Elaine will be heading this up. Parent volunteers are always appreciated and welcomed. We can use your help with costumes and stage production. Please click on the link below to sign up.

Is everyone enjoying the cooler weather? It’s finally feeling like Fall! I hope everyone had a good weekend and spent some time outside. And let’s not forget the solar eclipse, I had several teenagers tell me it looked like an Instagram filter outside. Ha.

We are only 3 weeks away from the end of the 1st quarter. If you are not sure if your child is on target with their academic projection, please set up a time to visit with your child’s teacher. Our expectation is for every student to meet their daily, weekly, and quarterly goals.

Fire Prevention- This Thursday the Fire Department will be at RCA to demonstrate
and talk with the kids about fire prevention.

Christmas in October- We are asking everyone to prayerfully consider volunteering
for our Christmas in October Toy Drive. There are several ways you can help: managing a game booth, serving at concessions, baking items for the cake walk, decorating, and cleaning up. All the toys collected from Christmas in October will be
given away, with food for a Christmas meal, to families in need.

The students had a great time at the yearbook signing party that was hosted this past
Friday. Previous students showed up to sign books and hang out with our current
RCA students.

Have a great week. Enjoy the cool weather. Praise God for His blessings.

In His service,
