The Week in Review, December 15-19

Happy Friday! We had a great week of teaching, learning, leading. Be sure to Sharpen Your Saw during our Winter Break - make time for family, friends, and fun! We will see you in 2015 :).

We had the privilege of hosting 2 guest administrators this week. A big thank you to Mr. Price and Mr. Tanner for stepping in while Mr. Bishton and Mrs. Wells were away!

This Week's Administration

Mr. Price was the original principal of Rice Creek Elementary. Below, he is pictured with the faculty members who have been at RCE since its opening!

Our principal, Mr. Bishton, traveled to South Africa this week to be with his family. Below are some pictures from his travels!

Special Announcements:

Yearbook Sales: 

Be the early bird and pre-order your yearbook for $15. The price will increase to $20 when we return to school in January. 

School Pictures:

You should have received a special package from our photography partner Strawbridge Studios. They have designed a new package called "Journey" which is a multi-year product that a majority of students in grades 2 - 5 will be receiving. All other students will receive a Fun Designer Pack if they had pictures taken in the Fall. This would make a perfect gift for the holidays!

This is also a fundraiser for the school, so please keep that in mind when placing your order. Pricing information is enclosed with your packets. You will pay for the sheets you want and return anything you do not want. Please return the money/pictures ASAP! 

Thank you for your support!
