Dear Families,
Here’s what’s happening at MRCS for the week of January 20.
1. Open House
Dear Families,
1. Open House
MRCS will be hosting our second Open House/Information Evening event on Wednesday, January 29 from 6:30-8:00 PM for all families who are interested in applying for a spot at our school for the 2025-2026 school year.
Please spread the word to your communities! We would greatly appreciate your prayers and support for a great turnout as we begin this next stage to expand our school so Christian education can be more accessible for everyone.
You can direct prospective families to register for a group tour at our next open house.
If you would like a flyer to share with friends, family, and communities, please email Clarissa Yap.
2. New Applications
Applications for new families for the 2025-2026 school year are currently open until January 31, 2025.
Spots are available from Grades 1-8, particularly in Grades 4-8 as we look to double track those grades.
We appreciate your prayers and support in helping us spread the word in your community as we look forward to welcoming new families to our school.
3. MRCS Strategic Planning Survey
Our board is engaging in strategic planning this year and we hope to get some input from our community members.
SCSBC (Society of Christian Schools of BC) is assisting us in data collection. The survey will take less than 5 minutes to fill out. We invite every family to fill in the survey before 9:00 PM today (Monday).
4. Esperanza Fundraiser
Over spring break, a team of our MRCS high school students will be going to Esperanza ministries on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
This will give the students an opportunity to serve, build community, and grow their faith with God. To fundraise for their trip, MRCS is partnering with two great local companies, West Coast Seeds and Jars by Jodi. 40% of the sales from these links will go to our Esperanza team. If you are able, please support them by using the links provided below.
The fundraiser is open now until February 7. All orders will be delivered to MRCS for pick up in March.
- Visit fundraising.westcoastseeds.com for West Coast Seeds to plant in your garden.
- Visit jarsbyjodi.ca/collections/fundraising-with-jars-by-jodi for Jars by Jodi to make your own mason jar cookie and dessert mixes at home.
For any questions regarding these fundraisers, please contact Alyson Westra.
5. Hot Lunch
The next hot lunch will be Chicken Burgers on Thursday, February 6.
The deadline to order is this Thursday, January 30.
Please place orders for hot lunches on Munch a Lunch. Purchase altogether or week by week.
