Opening Program 2016

We officially kicked off the 2016-17 RJC school year at the opening program on September 18th.  It was meaningful to gather as a 'cloud of witnesses' surrounding our new student body with love  and support for the new school year.  


SRC Co-Presidents Graham and Robyn welcomed the audience to the program and made opening comments.

Reflections by Jim Epp, principal.

Vice principal, Ryan Wood presents the Governor General Academic Medal and the General Proficiency Award to Danielle Brockman Class of 2016.  Unfortunately Danielle could not be present to accept her awards.  She is currently participating in the Outtatown Program at CMU. 


RJC Board chair, Tammy Forrester gives an update on the 'Do More Be More' program. 

Reflections from current students, Madi and Connor.

Audrey Kampen, (mother to Markus), and Grant and Angela Martens, (parents to Robyn and Sydney), deliver their advice, well wishes and challenges to the students.



Concert Choir performed two numbers that they had prepared for the program.

New staff members, Jill Wiens and David Epp end with a prayer for a new school year.
