“There is a sense of comfort having
our children at Redeemer, not just
because God is a part of every class
but because the principal and
teachers care so much.
I hope one day when I have
grandchildren that they will
be able to attend Redeemer
as well. I love it here, and
I am so happy the Lord led
me to this school so many
years ago. I’ll be sad when
my younger student graduates
from RCS.
