FOR YOUR INFORMATION:


GRADUATION PORTRAITS for Grade 12 students will be taken by Lifetouch Photographers at RJC on Monday, December 2.  Please try to ensure that your child does not have other appointments scheduled for that day, as no retake date is scheduled for Semester One.  More information to follow.


- CANADIAN TIRE MONEY:  Are you carrying around Canadian Tire money, always forgetting to cash it in?  RJC will gratefully accept donations of Canadian Tire cash, which will be used to purchase classroom and chapel audio/visual equipment as we are able.  Simply throw it in an envelope and mail it to RJC, or drop it off at the office when you are at the school.  It will be put to good use.  Thank you!
