One of the hardest things about resting is that it requires us to admit something we don't particularly like admitting: We are not in control.
Psalm 127:1–2 gives us a powerful picture of what happens when we forget this truth: “Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain... It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil.”
The Bible isn't condemning hard work. Scripture consistently encourages diligence and faithfulness. The problem is anxious toil, working as though everything depends on us...Click here to read more

Dear Rejoice Families,
We are aware of a recent social media trend, the Cat in the Hat, that has gone viral and received media coverage. As information spreads quickly through social media, some of our students have seen or heard rumors that have caused confusion, concern, or anxiety.
We want to reassure our families that there is no known threat to our school or our students related to this trend. Our administration and staff are aware of the situation, are monitoring concerns as they arise, and remain committed to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment.
We encourage parents to have age-appropriate conversations with their children about the information they encounter online. Social media can often amplify rumors or present information in ways that feel alarming, especially to young people. Helping students distinguish between online speculation and verified information can go a long way toward easing unnecessary worry.
If your child expresses concerns or anxiety about something they have seen online, we encourage you to listen, answer questions honestly, and remind them that trusted adults are available to help. Our counseling staff is also available to provide support for students who may need additional reassurance.
Most importantly, we want our students to know that they do not need to be fearful. Rejoice Christian School remains a safe place for learning, growth, and community, and we will continue to communicate with families should there ever be a situation that requires your attention.
Thank you for your partnership and for helping us keep our students focused on what is true, healthy, and beneficial.

Parent Event Volunteering | | |
The 2026–2027 fall sports season is here, and we're excited to cheer on our Eagle teams!
To help make our athletic events successful, we ask each student-athlete household to complete two volunteer shifts during the school year, either in concessions or at the ticket booth. These may be fulfilled by each custodial parent serving once or by one parent serving twice. RCS Athletics depends on the support of our families. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us represent our school with excellence. Go Eagles!
Volunteer opportunities are available for volleyball, softball, spirit trailer, elementary football, and MS/HS football.
