Scripture verse James 5:16 in the Living Translation Bible says that the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results! Do you believe in the Power of prayer?
We are proud to announce that http://www.WeAreRCS.com, the microsite that Cultivate Studios created for our 125th anniversary, took home "Platinum" at the 2009 International AVA Awards competition.

Mrs. Carmen Conda's class won the 2008-09 Box Top collection. Instead of the promised pizza party, the class was invited to attend the recent roller skating party. The students alone collected 3,958 Box Tops! When you add that to what other supporters of the school sent in, we made a very good amount of money for the school. Thanks to all who turned them in!

Thanks to all who supported the outing - next year will be wonderful weather!
