UPCOMING EVENTS:

- FALL CHOIR WORKSHOP - September 21-23 - All students are invited to participate in the Fall Choir Workshop next weekend. *The workshop is open to all RJC students.*  They will meet Friday evening and Saturday during the day.  On Sunday morning, the choir will meet again to prepare for a morning service at Zoar Mennonite Church in Waldheim.  The purpose of the choir workshop is to teach choral techniques to singers in an intentional setting.  It is also Part 1 of auditions for Chorale, the RJC chamber choir.


- SCHOOL PICTURE DAY - Friday, September 28.


- THANKSGIVING DESIGNATED WEEKEND - October 5 (afternoon) to October 8 -  Our first designated weekend of the year is Thanksgiving.  Because of the Government mandated change to begin the school year after the September long weekend, we have had to adjust our school calendar to ensure that the required number of instructional days are included.  As a result, classes will dismiss at noon on Friday prior to Thanksgiving, and resume Tuesday morning at 8:30 am.
