Chapel Review Week Ending March 20th


Faith and Life

On St. Patrick’s Day the staff donated items to auction in chapel, with all funds going to the Have a Heart fundraiser.  Students bid generously, and had fun with the event. 

Adam donated one of his game worn jerseys from his time as a professional volleyball player in France.

A good time was had by all!




Principal Jim Epp experienced a St. Patrick’s Day surprise that he won’t soon forget.  As part of the Faith and Life Committee’s annual Have a Heart fundraiser, Epp agreed to get pied in the face if the students raised over $2000.  And, on March 17, they did!  A name was drawn from a list of students who had donated money, and grade 12 student Cheyenne E. was given the honor.  To date, Have a Heart has raised over $3000, and the total continues to grow.  All funds will be donated to charitable organizations that the students will visit during their Alternative Service and Learning Opportunities Week at the end of April.  Students plan to have a bake sale at Bigway in the coming weeks, if renovations are completed by then.

 On March 18, Henry and Erna Funk shared in chapel.  The Funks addressed the students about the concept of service, and shared about their own recent service assignment with MC Canada Witness in Nazareth. 



On March 19, German student Miriam D. presented a slide show about her native Germany, and led the student body in some popular German party games.  This is part of a chapel series that features RJC’s international students.
