THE RLHS RESPONSE
Our plans for the spring of 2020 were vastly different than our memories
will be. As our world faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the RLHS community swiftly responded to meet the needs of our
students. Within a matter of days, we transitioned from teaching our
lessons at 251 Luedtke Avenue to educating our students from dozens
of remote locations. Our dedicated faculty and staff are providing online
learning, lectures and support while our determined students and their
parents embrace the technology-based sessions, classes and interactions.
We are humbled by the cooperation exhibited and the kindness shown
during this unprecedented time, and we look forward to the time when we can reconvene. At the time of publication,
we are uncertain what the days and weeks ahead will bring. Although we are physically separated, we continue this journey
together. Thank you for your prayers, your support and your patience as we steadfastly serve our Lord. We are reminded in James
1:2-4: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your
faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
