Updates and Happenings
A big thank you to the student ambassadors who came out to serve at last night’s open house. They represented the school well, and we heard positive feedback from prospective families. The event was a huge success with about 40 families who came to look at the school. Also, a shout out to PTO representatives Nicole Brigner, Lydia Parris, and Karen Alvarado who came to visit with prospective families.

Service Project Update:
- Thank you for partnering with us on the Sandtown-Winchester Achievement Academy Toy Mania Christmas project! Imagemakers ministries received approximately 220 gifts through the Amazon gift list. About 90% of these came from Forcey Christian School contributions!!! It was because of your efforts that so many students’ faces lit up with joy when they received their gifts during the December 21 outreach event. Check out the photo gallery at https://www.imagemakersministries.com/photo-gallery More opportunities to serve this ministry will be announced soon!
Mark Your Calendar
- Keep up with important dates on our website calendar all year long at https://fcs.school/calendar.
- Monday, February 20, no school for President’s Day.
- April 3-10 is spring break. School resumes on Tuesday, April 11.
- IOWA standardized testing will take place the week of April 24-28. Do your best to have your children in school that week and arrive on time. Make up-tests are time consuming and students miss valuable classroom instructional time during make up testing.
On my way into school today I was reminded about God’s love for me through a worship song called “Perfectly Loved”. Just a reminder today that you are perfectly loved by the God who created the universe and who created you in His image!
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1
