Dear Parents & students, welcome to our 4E Class Blog!  

Miss Yee and I pray that this will be a year of deep connection with the Lord and each other. 

We will learn, explore, experiment, laugh, pray, play, build, think, share, create, wonder, read, write, worship, problem-solve, serve, respect, invent, include…we will S.O.A.R. in Grade Four!

We hope this blog will be a helpful communication tool for all 4E parents and students.

This site is where you will find:

– homework updates

– announcements & volunteer opportunities

– upcoming events

– links to other important RCS blogs

RCS has the opportunity to have a team member from the Reach Child and Youth Development Society join us on May 3 to talk about ways in which we are all similar, ways in which we all may differ and how we all have strengths and challenges. Students will have an opportunity to think about ‘social senses’, how we use then in our daily lives and what it’s like for people with autism to use their ‘social senses’.

Dear Parents:

To help students and staff prepare for the evening musical, the library and computer lab will be closed after school on Thursday, April 18th. Please arrange to pick up your child at 2:45.

Hi Students and Parents,

It’s that time of the year again when we raise donations to support International China Concern.

Last Friday, we watched a video and heard some true stories about the needs of orphans and abandoned children in China. We were challenged to sacrifice our time, effort, and comfort to help others in need. Our theme in grade 4 is “Give Up to Lift Up.” Could we “give up” some of our free time to earn donations?  Could we “give up” our shyness to bravely share the ICC story with others?

We hope students will reach their fundraising goals, but also work hard to achieve their goals to take a risk to step out of their comfort zones in order to help abandoned and disabled children this Easter season.

Did You Know?

$30 pays the wage of a loving nanny to care for 5 children for 1 day?

$40 provides the home, food, and clothing needs for 1 child for 1 month?

$70 provides education for 1 child for 3 months?

$100 provides physical therapy for 1 child for 4 months?

To find out more about this wonderful Christian ministry, please visit www.chinaconcern.org.

The final day to hand in donation forms will be Monday, April 15th.

Thank you for your prayerful support!

Tomorrow we are going to become fur traders at historic Fort Langley, a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post beside the Fraser River where British Columbia became a colony in 1858!
