Spend a Day

RJC SPENDADAY

On the weekend of March 2nd and 3rd RJC hosted about 20 students 

overnight for SPENDADAY 2012.

The students began at noon with registration and met their host or hostess 

for the day. The RJC hosts were responsible to make sure our guests were 

guided through the rest of the days activities.

After our guests moved their luggage into their room, they were taken to 

the dinning hall for a delicious meal prepared by our wonderful

kitchen staff. They were also introduced to the Deans who would be their 

guardians for the evening. Thank you Deans!

The guests attended afternoon classes and then off to an evening of fun and 

activities with the RJC students.

Mennonite square dancing in the gym

Looking for Science in the News for Karalee

Practicing for the Slip & Slide during Water Fun Day!

The next Janzen to lead the choirs at RJC

The girls take the stage!

Art is very much encouraged at RJC!

V is for VICTORY! Look at all the banners hanging in the gym!

The girls pose in a volleyball stance and even Kioma (what a good sport) gets in the action

Ready for dinner!

ESSAYS FOR LARRY!

Mock presentation of girls night out. Imagine wax,  Bic shavers and nail polish.

Group games

Woa...

Alyssa Roy gave a lovely performance in the PIT

RJC put on a Fashion Show of "the good", "the bad" and the "incredibly strange" when it comes to our dress code.   The RJC jumper when worn in the fashion it is intended is actually good dress code.

Dave & Rowan commentating the Dress Code Fashions.They don't usually dress like this. :)

The Super Lloyds performed and the crowd went wild!

The evening was a wonderful success! Everyone was welcomed and was treated to a wonderful evening by the our brilliant RJC students! Good food, good fun and great fellowship was had by all!

On Saturday morning the families were invited to attend a fantastic morning brunch in the dining hall. They met the Deans and were introduced to Gail Schellenberg, our principal and Jim Epp, our vice principal and were given the opportunity to ask questions.

Now that we had our test run of SPENDADAY, next year proves to be EVEN BETTER!
