Flannel Day and Christmas Hair--2 dress-up days down, 3 to go before Christmas break! For more pictures, visit https://photos.app.goo.gl/mndWbJnjGTgQBPQ46
For many years, Rock County Christian School has asked our families and staff to skip giving Christmas presents to each other, and instead give towards a special project. This year we are collecting donations for a special RCCS family in need. We have two more days to give.
Our goal is to raise $1500, which is approximately $5.50 per student/faculty member.
If we reach our goal, both campuses will have a non-coordinated dress day (meaning you can wear your favorite shirt!).
On top of that, the campus that raises the most money earns the right to pick a faculty member and make that person do something crazy (but probably not too crazy).
We only have a short window to collect (Tuesday, December 14 through Thursday, December 16). Checks can be made payable to RCCS with "Christmas giving project" in the memo. Thank you for helping us help this family!
Just a reminder that tonight's scheduled Christmas concert has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a date in January. In the meantime, please enjoy this reminder of the reason for the season! Merry Christmas!

After learning about some babies in the old and new testaments, Rock County Christian School's grade one collected baby food as a community service project. This year it was donated to Janesville's House of Mercy. It was warmly received, and a grateful thank you letter arrived back at RCCS addressed to "Mr. Bartz and the Wonderful Class of First Graders."
The last paragraph of the letter read, "Many thanks for your wonderful donation of baby food items. Because you cared, many babies will have full tummies and a smile on their faces as your food items are shared with families who need a helping hand."

Special Veterans' Day chapels were held at both campuses on Wednesday, November 10.
Students at Beloit heard from John Boudreaux, who has served over 30 years in the armed forces.
Mr. Bartz taught the elementary students all about the different branches of the military and how we can pray for them. The kids also enjoyed our special Wall of Veterans, which fills our gym with stars highlighting the names of military friends and family members of our students. The Wall may be viewed tonight during Parent/Teacher conferences. For more pictures, please visit https://photos.app.goo.gl/gd7ieQLSC7wX8QU18 .
