Greetings Warrior Family,
As you may have noticed there is a lot of activity taking place in Warrior Country. We are presently placing a new roof on the main school building and the other houses on the property. The goal is to give the entire campus a fresh look and maximize its use. In the classrooms our students are being challenged  and they are stepping up. If you have not done so yet, friend us on facebook https://www.facebook.com/Rivercitychristianschool/ and instagram https://www.instagram.com/rccswarriors/?igshid=NjY2NjE5MzQ%3D to see the amazing knowledge and skills they are demonstrating. Our Next Step students are learning about budgeting and preparing for their future after high school graduation. Oh yes the students will be organizing RCCS first ever Fall Festival Explosion. Mark your calendar for an exciting day Saturday, October 25th. The culinary students made up of high school and eighth graders are doing a fantastic job.  One of our seniors is on his way to receive his kitchen managers license as his goal is to become a chef. In the athletic arena the soccer and cross country team are training hard. Be on the lookout for game and meet schedules. Go cheerleaders, they are sounding great.
Along with all the fantastic things taking place we are also having some challenges. As many of you are aware our main cooling system crashed the day before school started.  We immediately invested in a temporary solution and are currently seeking the best solution to replace our chiller system. At the same time our brand new internet and phone system stopped working. Thanks to the School at Castle Hills administration they recommended an IT company and both systems are up and running perfectly. Two weeks ago we were notified by Ms. Cion Dussinger/Strickland she was resigning and submitted her two week notice. Beginning Monday we have revised administration and staff schedules and all classes are covered by highly qualified teachers. We believe this will be temporary as we have potential replacements scheduled for interviews. 
If you visit the school next week you will also notice a new face working with Mrs Booker. Candy McKee is the newest member of RCCS. Mrs McKee will be training with Mrs Booker and transition to our new Administrative Assistant. Please stop by and introduce yourself to her.  
I close by encouraging you to join the students this coming Wednesday, September 25th at 8:15am  at the school flag pole as the pray for schools, leaders, defenders, each other and our nation. I believe those 30 minutes will  provide you a great start to your day.
Blessings
Mr. Castillo
