RAA VIP The Latest News and Information For You

V I P REDDING ADVENTIST ACADEMY NEWSLETTER

4-30-21

Each Thursday afternoon I read in the 5th & 6th grade classroom. It's a standing date of sorts. We are currently on our 3rd book of a series that I've read over and over to 6th graders in years past. As we were trying to determine how much we'd need to read each week in order to finish the third book, (Insert the opportunity to do Math "If we want to read x number of pages, in Y number of days, what is the average number of pages we must read each day?"), we came to the realization that we have just 5 weeks left of school. FIVE WEEKS ... That is hard for me to grasp! We have made the very best of this uniquely different COVID year, but we have a LOT to squeeze in still. May is always a busy month for us and despite our best efforts to not allow the calendar to get too crowded, it seems to happen anyway! Thank you - families, alumni, church constituents, and all other readers for joining us on our journey this year! We appreciate your prayers, encouragement and support as we make our way to the finish line. Have a wonderful weekend!

To Our Principal,

Mrs. Copithorne

Happy Principal Appreciation Day!

From Your RAA Family!

A Principal's Prayer

Each time, before I face my day, I hesitate awhile, and ask the Father, "Help me Lord to understand each child. Help me to see in everyone, a precious soul most dear. And may I lead that child through paths of wonder - not fear. Dear Father, as they look to me for Christian guidance true, I look to You and humbly ask that You will teach me too." Amen

Grades 3 & 4, Ms. Bue

Bible class is fun competing to answer questions about Ruth.

Grades 3 & 4 pray for all the cities that have Adventist churches and populations over 1 million people. The map helps them keep track of what city to pray for each day.
