Wrapping up SY 2008-09

The end of the school year was so busy that we didn't have an opportunity as a "team" to post our final blog, but I thought it important to wrap things up on behalf of our class...

We had such an awesome year together! And to wrap it up perfectly, we shared the privilege of experiencing our first Senior graduation. Our 2009 graduates are Valedictorian Chad Bailey, Salutatorian Brittany Babick, JT Booterbaugh, Stephen Fournier, Seth Haner, David Norris, and Jonathan Lucas. We wish them all of God's blessings and will keep them in our prayers as they venture out into the world.

Finally, a special thanks to everyone at Riverfront Christian school - parents, students, and staff. Christian education can make the difference in a child's life and we know that God has most definitely fulfilled His will through our school and will continue to do so.

I hope everyone has an awesome summer with lots of fun adventures. Here's to next year! Love in Christ, Mrs. Douthit

Summer Break

Sorry there haven't been any new posts, but everyone is enjoying their summer. Everyone have fun, and we'll see you back next fall.

Spring Break

A couple of weeks ago we had our spring break. That week was fun because we were able to relax and get away from school work. We all had a very busy week but missed our teachers and friends greatly. Once we got back from school the middle school soccer team had a few games. They are working hard toward their first win. Thursday they are playing SVCA, so good luck middle school!! Also when the girls' JV team got back from break, they played SVCA and won 2-0. After that the JV girls played RMA and won 4-1. They are doing a really good job this year!

Secondary Chapel

Today, the Secondary School had a Chapel service. In the Chapel service, we watched a video that the Juniors and Seniors made about the death, resurrection, and second coming of Christ. It was an amazing video!! Also, we were able to sing a few songs to praise God. We ended with a moment of silent prayer. It was an outstanding Chapel.

Special thanks to the Juniors, Seniors, and Mrs. Douthit for making a video that had a great impact on the Secondary students.

Easter Break!

We wish everyone a happy Easter!!!


But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

Luke 24:1-12

Soccer and Planetarium

This past week the girls' soccer season started. Our first varsity game was in the SVCA Tournament. Excitingly we came in second place. The middle school team also had their first game against Wakefield Country Day School. They lost 1-0, but they played a really good game. They also had another game against Fresta Valley and lost 3-1. They played really hard and will be ready to beat them next time.

Another cool thing that happened at RCS was that we had a Traveling Planetarium come to our school. The Planetarium is an inflatable "bubble" that allows people to go inside and get a close-up view of our galaxy. The man who brought the Planetarium was able to take us through space. Everyone enjoyed it and would love to experience it again.

Interact and Homestead

This week eight members of our Interact Club went to The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, with Mrs. Lucas and Mrs. Douthit as the chaperones. Interact Club is sponsored by the Rotary Club and allows teenagers to help out local and international communities. The Rotary hosted their biannual conference at The Homestead. At the conference, there were many great speakers, including students who won the Rotary Speech Contest earlier this year. The Rotary also sponsors foreign exchange students (inbound and outbound), so we were able to hear about their experiences in the U.S. In addition, we were able to learn about what the Interact Clubs all over Virginia are doing to help their community. After the conference, we were able to explore the amazing resort. The Homestead was one of the biggest places we have ever seen! They have a bowling alley, an ice cream/coffee shop, clothing stores, a spa, an indoor pool and many more things to enjoy. We were very thankful to have this opportunity!
