Dear Families,
Here’s what’s happening at MRCS for the week of February 4.
Dear Families,
1. High School – Semester Two
Due to inclement weather on Monday, February 3, the start of second semester for high school students begins today, February 4. Please see the MRCS app and Parent Portal for the Semester Two schedules.
2. Report Cards
This Friday, February 7, High School Semester One and linear report cards will be sent home.
3. 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.
This is your last week to order from these companies to support the Esperanza trip. Orders close this Friday, 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.
4. Parent Prayer Walk

If you would like to join her, please meet in front of the main doors on Wednesday, February 5. Let’s pray for each other, our school, and our community, and enjoy the beauty of God’s natural creations.
