Thank You!
Rock Valley Christian would like to thank all the reading sponsors who helped support each K-2 reading month throughout the school year. Thanks to these sponsors, we were able to purchase fun incentives that correlated with the reading theme for the month. These months have challenged students to grow as readers and have cultivated excitement for reading at RVCS.
September: Read to a Pet (Modern Woodman)
October: Camping Theme (Premier)
November: Turkey Theme (Texas Roadhouse)
December: All-School Reading Challenge (RVCS)
January: Amazing Race (People's Bank)
February: Read for the Win (Hegg Health Center)
March: March Madness (CoOp)
We are currently seeking new sponsors for our 2024-2025 school year. If you or your business are interested, please contact Haeley Faber at haeley.faber@rockvalleychristian.com.
Art Show Volunteers

I am excited to announce that we will be holding an art show to celebrate the creative gifts God has given our students at RVCS! Every student, K-8, will have a piece of art in the show.
In order to make this possible, I am looking for a few parent volunteers to help hang the 200+ artworks that will be displayed. No art skills needed, just hands willing to help!
