RJC Record Setting Spectacular

RJC students participated in their annual school fundraising event this past May. Students divided into teams and competed for top honors in the 2nd RJC RECORD SETTING SPECTACULAR. In this competition they were challenged to complete a number of unique tasks in record time!! Team members solicited sponsors for their teams with the money raised being used for student projects and activities at RJC.

No, they're not playing cards, they're building with cards. This challenge was to see how many stories high each team could build a house of cards.

Ever wondered how an elephant knocks over things that stand in their way? Tiera Goertz shows how we do it!

Here is the RJC take on the classic kid's game of marbles. Rachel Klaassen (above) and Taylor Roy (below) take aim and fire away!

The challenge here was for each team to use the least amount of duct tape to secure a teammate to the outside wall of the school. Yes, we said LEAST amount of tape!!

Gail keeps score as this team attempts to move as many balloons as it can into the goal using water squirters.
