School Pictures

Spring portraits were distributed last week of our good looking students!  

Keep the picture sheets you would like to buy.  Pay online at Lifetouch.com, or place payment in the envelope and return to the school office.  Please hand in any pictures you do not want to keep.

The pictures make great Mother's Day and/or Father's Day gifts!

Dessert Needed!

We need donations of delicious desserts for our Middle School musical on May 15, 16, 17.  Cakes, cookies and pies without any kind of nuts would be greatly appreciated!  Please see Denise Priest if you have any questions.  Thank you so much!

Gift Card (Scrip) Fundraiser!

 

This is a super easy fundraiser at FCCA!  Order your gift Scrip cards on-line at www.ShopWithScrip.com enrollment code: 141A51DF38275.  After you place your order, stop by or call the school office (227-3222) to make your payment.  Your order should arrive just a few days later.  Pick up your cards in the office and go shopping!

A Note from Mrs. Miller...

Wow!  This year's Open House and Science Fair was a reaffirmation of the mission and vision of FCCA.  The academic accomplishments, demonstrated exploration of God's world and the sense of community was realized throughout our campus this week from preschool through middle school.  Special thanks to the Flyer Team members for your stellar service to our families.

Over the next two weeks our students will be taking the TerraNova Standardized Test.  Please make every effort to have your child at school by 8:15 am.  Plenty of rest and a nutritious breakfast contribute greatly to optimum performance.

Congratulations to our track, volleyball and softball athletes and coaches for a victorious week of sports!

Finally, report cards go home tomorrow.  If your child's teacher does not have the report card, it will be in the office.  Please contact Cynthia in the school office (227-3222, ext. 124) if your child does not bring a report card home on Monday. 

Thank you for your partnership!  It is critical to the success of our school.

As always, it is an honor to serve you.

Linda E. Miller, Administrator/Principal
