To the adults who planned and chaperoned--I too want to add my thanks… I have heard from several boys that the loved this weekend.  I know the hours many of you invested in this and for some you do not have any kids involved.  I pray the lord blesses you and you know how appreciated you are!

To the boys who participated---Thanks for being courageous and willing to be involved.  I pray God uses this weekend to strengthen your resolve to walk in Him and to stand up and be counted as a young warrior for Christ!  Let’s take back FCS and make it into a place where Christ truly reigns… You are the beginning of what God intends to do!  Lead with resolve and purpose and be not ashamed of the Gospel!   I am excited to see what God has in store for us all next year!

 

What a blessing for all involved!  Thank you all for your time and diligence and godly standards in leading our young men on their quest!  Only wonderful praises have been heard!  Thank you families for the blessing of the candlelight-prayer vigil! 

 We do have a few miscellaneous items left behind…binoculars, small tent, pillow, small bag with pocket knife, bookmark.  Contact Mrs. Rose to get them back.  Thanks!   Blessings!

   The senior class would like to thank all of you who prayed for them these last two weeks while they were in China. They felt the prayers as they biked in the cold rain, had courage to talk to Chinese strangers, shared the gospel some for the first time, and felt Satan’s resistance to their efforts. We also know God answered your prayers for their safety on the roads, in 7 cities, in 5 types of transportation, against crime and in eating food not familiar to us. You also prayed that people would hear God’s call through these students and that was abundantly answered. Thanks for standing with us in prayer.  In His Care,    The Senior Class

Amazingly, our 3^rd quarter has come to a close.  And, during this past quarter we have experienced some extreme temperatures.  So, we have not had as many Mileage Club days as usual.  But, in spite of that, the students have worked hard at accumulating a grand total of 3156 miles so far this year.  That number includes 2010 miles for the 4^th and 5^th grades and 1146 miles for the 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grades!!!!!   

I would like to recognize some of the top elementary milers:  Fourth grade – Joshua Atkinson (58), Sam Stansberry (54), Amanda Milana (50), Laura Barnes (50), Tyler Pochon (54), Tyler Rose (42) and Ryley Nygaard (47).

Fifth grade – Tiffany Roberts (31), Austin Crawford (32), Geoffrey Thompson (35),  Brandon Henrique (38), Justin Baldwin (40) and Michael Fedowitz ((40).

I am really proud of all of them, as I know that you are.  Let’s keep up the great pace that we have set this year and reach a new record for total miles.  GO WARRIORS!

 Congratulations to Brynn Henson for her 2^nd place finish in the 3^rd grade ACSI spelling bee and to Will Slack for his 3^rd place finish.  In His service, Tammi Peters

I was so proud of our Warriors!  All of them!  Our fans and teams showed great school spirit, as well as good sportsmanship.  You all followed Christ’s example and showered them with kindness and the love of Christ.  That is the true Warrior spirit!  It was a great game and in the end our boys beat them 80-77!    -   In His service, Tammi Peters

The equipment for our ’07 FCS DrumLine has begun to arrive. Anyone interested is welcome to stop by the band room starting Monday  (I need a day or two for assembly) to see our new drums on display. A great big “Thank You” goes out to the FCS Booster Club for sponsoring this exciting new project.

Parents - We would like to introduce a new program to FCS. In January we will be offering after school violin and viola lessons for students 4^th grade and above (parents are also welcomed to participate). There will be no charge for the lessons, however, if you do not already own an instrument one would need to be rented. If you are interested in lessons and/or would like to have more information as it is made available please contact the office.

Congratulations!! to Lucas Perry for placing 2^nd Chair Alto Saxophone in the Southeastern All-District Band!!

Congratulations to Chris and Jennifer (Wood) Masterson- class of ’05 had a baby boy, Gabriel Thomas on Nov 7 at 9:55 pm.

Well, I (Mrs. Neff) have gotten off to a slow start reporting Mileage Club stats this year.  Fortunately, the students have not done the same.  They have been running steadily since school started in August.  So, I want to give everybody the totals for the first semester (sixteen weeks of running).  They have really been putting out a lot of effort to earn those foot tokens that you see them wearing.
I will start with the Elementary, grades four and five.  The fourth grade has a total of 837 miles. In Mrs. Steffes’ class the top runners are:  Jacob Atkinson (37 mi.), Laura Barnes (31 mi), Amanda Milana (28mi), Ryley Nygaard (35 mi), and Samuel Stansberry (39).  Mrs. Sims’ class:  Tyler Pochon (39 mi), Tyler Rose (33 mi), Joshua Widdifield (22 mi).
The fifth grade has a total of 590 miles.  The top milers in Mrs. Adam’s class are:  Justin Baldwin (27mi) and Samantha Ruark (22 mi).  Mrs. Beard’s class:  Austin Crawford ((27 mi), Michael Fedowitz (29 mi), Brandon Henrique (24 mi), Nathan Hewitt (20 mi), Taylor Newman (22 mi), Clayton Winebarger (21 mi) and Geoffrey Thompson (28 mi).
The students in Middle School who had PE on Wed. last semester also participated in the Mileage Club.  The 6^th/7^th grades totaled 416 miles, while the 8^th grade girls had a total of 219 miles.
So, the total mileage for all of the students that participated last semester was 1472 miles!!!!!!  They are really on the road to fitness.  I am really proud of all of the effort that they put for.  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYBODY!!  

Congratulations to Nicki Scripko!
She was rated in the top 250 Senior Volleyball players in the country by PrepVolleyball.com.
This is quite an accomplishment because there are 14,000 volleyball programs across the nation.
So for Nicki to be named a player is outstanding.
Congratulations to Nicki, our volleyball coaches and the entire volleyball team.

Congratulations! Helen Dahnke is a National Merit Semifinalist 2007
Only 16,000 top scoring seniors are selected to be a National Merit Semi-Finalist across the nation.  Helen will now compete to win a highly competitive and prestigious National Merit Finalist award.  Only the 2000 top achieving seniors are selected each year for this award. Achievement is based upon the SAT score and the student’s academic and extra-curricular record. FCS has had three previous National Merit winners.  To be such a small school and have this many winners since 1999 is quite a statement!  And all three winners attended FCS since pre-school. In addition, we have had a couple of semi-finalists and several commended students as well. Way to go FCS teachers and staff for the excellent program you have helped build!

Congratulations to Andrew Gibbs (8^th) for being accepted into the People to People Leadership Summit. We are proud of you!
