RJC celebrates Milk Week!

It's MILK WEEK! In what has become an RJC 'tradition', the Milk Slam is originally a program sponsored by various milk producers in Canada, designed to encourage students to make a healthier choice with milk.  RJC has taken the program and added it's own twist - Milk Week is chock full of dress-up days, themed activities and prizes- and of course Milk.

Sadie Hawkins 2015 - Stone Age

The Girls' dorm hosted the annual Sadie Hawkins on October 21.  Sadie Hawkins is a themed school event where the girls 'ask out' the boys to join them for a fun evening of good food and fun activities.  The weeks prior to the event are full of creative invitations as the girls 'ask out' their dates.  The theme this year was Stone Age ( only with dinosaurs!) .  Costumes for the evening ranged from animals, to cavemen to dinosaurs to rocks!  A delicious meal was prepared for us by our very own kitchen staff.  We devoured ribs by our 'campfires'!  The evening continued with a trip to the Corn Maze.  Imagine 74 teenaged students trying to find their way through the maze in the dark!  The evening ended with a movie in the pit, Journey to the Centre of the Earth!

Fundraising Banquet 2015

The RJC Corporation Annual General Meeting and Fundraisings Banquet, held on October 24, was a huge success.  The event celebrated the achievements of the RJC athletics program through the years.  As part of the evening, alumni and current students were interviewed during a light-hearted Mennonite Sports Central Committee segment.  Some championship teams from the past who did not have banners on the wall were also recognized.  Their banners have been added, which give guests something new to look at the next time they visit the RJC gymnasium.

The gymnasium was filled to capacity.

The silent auctions items were popular.

Brent Guenther was Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

New banners (from years past were added to the RJC gymnasium walls.
