Devotional Thought:
2 Timothy 2:15 presents a challenge that recognizes the benefit of a growth mindset: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” Paul’s command is to “do your best to …” Notice that he does not say, “be perfect.” The phrase “do your best to” acknowledges that as people we are not perfect and that we will make mistakes. It is also a call for growth and
development because our best effort today will not be our best effort tomorrow when we have grown in knowledge and skill.
Notice how this verse ends: “rightly handling the word of truth.” We can only “do our best” at “rightly handling the word of truth” when we are daily immersed in the word of truth. Reading our Bible each day is one way that we can Love God with all our mind.
In Christ, Al Hearne II, Superintendent

“Fabulous Five” As Reported By RCS Teachers:
- Mrs. Marcus reports, “We used lots of hands-on tools to practice making fractions like halves, thirds, and fourths!”
- Mr. Barnhart reports, “Having the opportunity to serve with our Christian ministry team in Window Rock!”
- Miss Orluck reports, “I had my students write their essays for the Rowell Rodeo Essay Contest. The theme was ‘My Hero.’ Some of the heroes that they wrote about were Jesus, Peter in the Bible, Mark and Isaac in the Bible, soldiers, policemen, firefighters, grandmothers, brothers, moms and dads, and even me. :-)”
- Mrs. Francis reports, “We are studying about merchants in California history. For our STEM project, the students are building a store out of paper. They must also build a replica of a product they are selling and create a commercial or billboard to advertise their business.”
- Mr. Blatchford reports, “Biology students are starting to get into bioethical topics! The applications of science combined with the morality of Scripture are tied together in our last unit of the school year.”
