The LORD is good forever and ever.

Praise the Lord for a successful fundraiser on Saturday! THANK YOU to our wonderful parents, students, staff, school family and church family for all your hard work. It was an amazing day, and none of it would have happened without the grace of our God. 
We are thankful for all the great businesses and individuals who donated items for the live auction. Thanks too, to all the people who baked goods for both the silent and live auctions. And thank you, to all you great people who came out and supported RCA by spending your hard-earned money by investing in the future of our students. 

Last, but not least, ‘Thank You’ to Rachel and Brian Bracewell (Owners of Southside Market & Barbeque). They donated and cooked the sausage for the BBQ fundraiser. What a blessing. Please go by and support their business and all those who helped sponsor the RCA fundraiser. 

This week, we have Noon Early Release on Friday, March 8, and then we have no school for Spring Break March 11-15. There are just three weeks left until the end of the 3rd quarter!

Scripture Memorization is due this Friday. 

Parents, thank you for your commitment to RCA. Let’s continue to work and go forward together. Keep us in your prayers. We are so blessed! I pray for God’s blessings on each of you.

Blessings,
JR Regalado

I hope that you had a wonderful Presidents Day—and enjoyed the long weekend.


This is the 5th week of the 3rd quarter and this week your child’s Mid-quarter Progress Report will be sent home in the Parent Envelope. Please look it over carefully and make sure that if your child is on level, he/she is on schedule to complete at least 3 grades in each subject for this quarter. If your child is behind and not on level, he/she should be on schedule to complete more than 4 Paces in any subject in which they are behind. (All grades after 1/20/23 are for this quarter). We want each child to achieve Privilege Status for the quarter. Please discuss with your child’s teacher any concerns or questions you might have.
​
Very soon, we will be opening pre-registration for all returning students. To guarantee your child will have a spot next year at RCA, you will need to respond quickly when re-enrollment opens. Watch for more information coming soon!


Student Tardies     School starts at 8:20 am. If your child is not at their class table by 8:20 am, they will be counted as tardy. Students who arrive after 8:20 am must report to the Fellowship Hall, and not hang out in the restrooms or hallways during our morning exercises. The exterior doors automatically lock at 8:25 am, students who show up after this time will need to be signed in by a parent or guardian. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please give me a call or stop by the office so we can discuss it. 


Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024     A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, masking the image of the Sun from the viewers on Earth. We wish for families to experience the Solar Eclipse together so RCA is giving students the day off. This day off is not on the school calendar.

BASTROP COUNTY, Texas – An outdoor community playscape and basketball court at Rosanky Christian Academy soon will get new shade, lighting and other upgrades, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority and Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative.
 
The Community Development Partnership Program grant to the Rosanky Baptist Church, along with almost $8,500 in matching funds from the church, will enable the school to install a shade structure over the playscape, and add new lighting and a water fountain at the basketball pavilion.

“We've known for a while that the area around our basketball pavilion and playground needed upgrades, including efficient lighting, appropriate shade and water fountains,” said JR Regalado, school principal. “Many times, kids and families stayed away from the playground during the day because it was in direct sunlight. The upgrades will provide some relief from the Texas heat.”

The school grounds and playscape are popular outdoor spaces for the community, and the basketball court is the only one in Rosanky open to the public. It is available after school and on the weekends until 9 p.m., but the lack of lighting limits use of the court once it gets dark.

“With the upgrades, our community will have improved access to the playground and pavilion,” Regalado said. “This grant is important because it will provide a safer area that is more accessible for the community.”

LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson said LCRA is proud to support the project, which will increase the availability of outdoor activities in the Rosanky area.
 
“Having a place to gather, play and participate in physical activity is so important for a community,” Wilson said. “Both young people and older folks benefit from being active, and these upgrades will make it easier to get outside and have some fun.”
 
Wilson said the improvements will help support the health and well-being of Rosanky residents and the surrounding areas.
 
“We know being in the midday sun can be dangerous in the summer, so this will let kids have a cooler place to play,” he said. “We also know not everyone can get to a basketball court before dark, and having lights provides a safer and more accessible environment for those who want to play a little ball even after the sun goes down.”
 
The community grant is one of 45 grants awarded recently through LCRA’s Community Development Partnership Program, which helps volunteer fire departments, local governments, emergency responders and nonprofit organizations fund capital improvement projects in LCRA’s wholesale electric, water and transmission service areas. The program is part of LCRA’s effort to give back to the communities it serves. Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative is one of LCRA’s wholesale electric customers and is a partner in the grant program.
 
Applications for the next round of grants will be accepted in January. More information is available at lcra.org/cdpp.
