Redeemer Christian School 8th grade history students are privileged to welcome volunteer non-profit leaders into their classroom on Mondays for the rest of the school year (except SAT testing week).  Youth Philanthropy in Action (YPIA), is a six week education curriculum that covers five objectives focusing on civic responsibility. YPIA is an initiative of the Non Profit Business Council of the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce.   

By the end of the program, students will have determined what they value, and how they can use that to make their local or even the global community a better place.  Along with their personal mission statements, the class as a whole will work together to learn how to truly put their philanthropy into action as responsible citizens.  The program piloted at Blessed Trinity early this year, so Redeemer is only the second school in the county to receive this teaching.  The long-term goal of the Non Profit Business Council is to present this program to all 8th grade students district wide, so we are blessed to offer it for our students now.

Case's project entitled A Comparison of Efficacy Between De-worming Protocols in Caprine Fecal Haemonchus Contortus Egg Counts was awarded fourth place, and he also received an honorable mention from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service. We applaud Case for his hard work and dedication and congratulate him on his achievement.

Dear Redeemer Family,

 I am pleased to announce Redeemer will be holding an open house on Wednesday, March 28^th at 6 o’clock pm.  This open house will be a chance for potential new families to come witness how Redeemer offers Christ In All Things. 

One way you might help contribute to our open house would be to tell your friends and family members who do not attend Redeemer to come enjoy an evening of seeing what Redeemer has to offer for their children.

We are very excited to host this event and hope you will spread the word about how Redeemer has influenced the spiritual formation of your child’s life.

Happy February! Re-enrollment goes out today for the 2012-2013 school year! All paperwork is due by February 27th. Can't wait to see what God has in store for RCS next year, Go Lions!

Forms went out last week with your child about spring picture day this Friday, February 3rd. Please read over the form carefully and take note that if you would like a class picture it must be preordered and paid for before picture day. There are also choices for poses for the individual photos that you may choose for your child. If you wish to have a specific pose, please turn that form in to your child’s teacher before picture day. The individual pictures will come in at a later date for you to preview before you purchase. All students must be dressed in uniform attire for picture day with the exception of K3 and K4. If you have any questions, please call the school office.

Redeemer Christian School would like to offer this great special Wednesday, January 4- Friday, January 13. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Redeemer Christian School’s 4th and 5th grade Safety Patrol trip.

Thermal Totes with the choice of 18 designs for $17 or the NEW Cinch-It-Up Thermal Tote in 5 designs for $22. Pricing includes tax and shipping. (Thermal totes are priced $10 and Cinch-It-Up totes are priced $15 before tax and shipping for the month of January. Proceeds will be donated to “Redeemer Christian School.”)

Both totes are thermally lined (non-mercury containing liner) to keep warm food warm, and cold food cold. Zipper or Cinch top, sturdy handle and front pocket for napkins, utensils, or little notes. Even a cell phone and thin wallet if you don’t want to carry your pocketbook out to a lunch date.

You can personalize the $17 thermal tote for only $7. You can choose to do your first and/or last name, first initial or 3 letter monogram.

Please turn in your orders along with a check made payable to “Redeemer Christian School” to your child’s teacher by January 13.
