The POWER TEAM is coming to Surrey! These world-class athletes have performed exhibitions of strength in over 40 countries

This newsletter is a
weekly publication
celebrating student life
at Regent
Christian Academy.
If you have any photos,
stories or field trip
adventures to share,
please email to
[email protected]
We will try to consider
all submissions.
The Power Team is booked in several lower mainland schools next week—both
public and private. RCA will enjoy a performance by the Power Team on Wednesday, November 4th, at 1:00 pm. When the Power Team was here two years
ago, several of our students made decisions for Christ. We look forward to a
fruitful time once again, both at RCA and in the evening rallies at Bible Fellowship.
Please cover these school visits and evening rallies in prayer. Please pray that
students, particularly from our local public schools, will be drawn to the evening
rallies and respond to the salvation message given.
KITCHEN STUFF
Our FOODS LAB is in need of some kitchen stuff. If you have
new or lightly used goodies, we would be most appreciative.
Pots & pans, knives, tongs, utensils, spoon rests, recipe holders
or anything extra you can share would be appreciated.
Our students are currently exploring the diversity of our cultures
through the world of soups, Italian, French and Thai— all from
scratch. These delicious smells are waffling through our hallways
and tantalizing passers by.
Please kindly bring your treasures to our front office.

FALL CONCERT ~ GRADES 7-12
The Fall concert was once again a great success for RCA. Mr. Falcon and Miss Chen appreciated
every musician’s hard work before during and after the concert. The highlights were the 7/8 choir,
the grade 8 band and the jazz choir. The set up and clean up for this concert was the best ever
and it made for a stress free, enjoyable evening. Once again we would like to thank the students
for their hard work, the parents for supporting their children and the teachers for their assistance
with the homerooms. We now look forward to working on the music for the Christmas concert on
December 15th. Looking forward to seeing you then!

PORT OF VCR & STANLEY PARK ~ GRADE 6
The grade sixes enjoyed a fun filled time at Stanley Park and the Port of Vancouver on October 9th. The students expanded their understanding of Vancouver’s role in world trade while at the port to complement their
social studies unit. While at Stanley Park the classes explored the diversity of God’s creation and some local
historical points of interest. Thank-you to all the helpers who joined Mr. Johnston and Miss Kennelly on this
adventure.
MAX-I-MIME
On Thursday, October 29th, the students from Grades 6 to 12 were treated to a 50 minute performance by a
professional mime artist who lives in Vancouver. Max-i-mime involves the solo performance of MAX FOMITCHEV,
a Russian born and trained actor. Max is hearing impaired, a fact which has no doubt heightened his awareness
of movement. His wordless performance was stunning!
Students and staff watched incredulously and
laughed as Max wrestled with a suitcase which floated
in the middle of the stage, danced with a coatrack
which came alive, became a robot, and conducted a
band composed of students picked from the audience. What an inspiration! In the afternoon, Max gave
workshops to Drama classes.
If you would like to catch a glimpse of what we experienced, you can see two of Max's skits on YouTube. Type in "Video results for Maximime".

VEGGIE TALES COMES TO RCA
We are excited to be doing an adaptation of the much loved Veggietales
movie “Jonah” as a school play this year.
Students from grades 5-12 were eligible to sign up and auditions are
currently underway. We have completed the first round of auditions and
are now narrowing it down with “callbacks”, Friday, and next week.
Big Ideas Productions has given us permission to use their movie script
and it is being adapted for the stage by a professional writer, Ellie King,
who is also designing our sets. Jonah will be in rehearsal starting January, and will be presented the last week of April, 2010.
We hope to see
you all there.
Ellie King is also directing the traditional “Panto”, Robin Hood, to be presented at the Surrey Arts Center
during the Christmas holidays. Twenty percent of the cast are students and staff of RCA. Watch for more
info on that in upcoming newsletters.
THE POWER TEAM ~ Wed Nov 4th
smash walls of ice and concrete.
The Power Team is coming to Surrey. This is your
chance to see a group of world-class athletes who
have performed the world’s greatest exhibitions of
power, strength, speed, inspiration, and motivation
in over 40 countries for over 30 years. These giant
men, many weighing over 300 pounds, can blow up
hot water bottles like balloons, snap baseball bats
like twigs, lift telephone poles overhead, rip phone
books and license plates like pieces of paper, and
RCA STUDENTS will share the excitement of the Power Team during our ALL SCHOOL ASSEMBLY scheduled on Wednesday, Nov 4th, at 1:00pm.
FAMILIES and friends can come and see the Power Team at Bible Fellowship at 15100 66A
street, in Surrey on November 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8th. Show starts at 7:00. Tickets available for
$2.00 at the door. Come early for festival seating. Go to www.biblefellowship.ca for details.
