RCS Offers Fencing In After-school Program

Redwood Christian Schools’ Patrick Lee, Director of Specialized Programs, is always looking for ways to positively impact the children who are part of the RCS K-5 after-school Eagles Care program.

Other after-school programs have included volleyball, coding, chess, Mandarin, ballet, running and flag football.

The fencing program instructor is Coach Gabi Cimpoaie of Le Fencer Academy.  Coach Gabi lives in Castro Valley.  Her website is www.lefenceracademy.com.

Coach Gabi states“Fencing, regardless of age, stimulates speed, balance, mental focus and coordination, and teaches individuals how to make complex decisions, analyze problems and think fast!”

Sophomore student Reeva Yao, an international student who fenced back home in China, is assisting the class of six students - Lucia, Steven, Valentino, Zachary, Caden, and Bailey.

Patrick Lee stressed that every program considered must fit within the philosophy of Christian education upon which Redwood Christian Schools is founded and stated “RCS Eagles Care program is always seeking to enhance our after school offerings to inspire confidence, cultivate new skills, and create engaging, fun-filled experiences for our students.”

Dr. Al Hearne, Superintendent of Redwood Christian Schools, stated “We are so blessed to have leaders like Mr. Lee, who are open to new ideas that will provide our students with new, exciting educational opportunities during our before-  and after-school program.”
