Service Project Update: FCS is having a renewed focus on service opportunities this year. We are excited to announce 3 initial areas of service focus for the 2022-23 school year.

Elementary students participated in a service project to benefit the Sarah’s House Homeless Shelter in Howard County. Together, the elementary students collected over 1,100 pairs of socks! I’m so proud of how our students stepped up to help those less fortunate.
FCS will be partnering with Image Makers Ministries this year. You can find out more about Image Makers Ministries by visiting https://www.imagemakersministries.com/ One area of focus is adopting Baltimore City Public School Sandtown-Winchester Achievement Academy in the heart of Baltimore City. More information to come about how we at FCS can support these students and teachers in weeks to come.
Operation Christmas Child collection dates are next Tuesday and Wednesday, November 15-16.

Today is Veteran’s Day! Veteran’s Day celebrates the service of all US military veterans. Forcey Christian School wants to specifically thank all of the military veterans in our FCS Community. We are thankful for your service to defend and protect the United States of America.

A few things you can do all year round to show appreciation to veterans:

Celebrate with service. Show service members your gratitude throughout the year with a home-cooked meal, thank you note or day of volunteering.
Support veteran-owned businesses.
Express thanks verbally.
Send a card.

Let’s always have an attitude of gratitude in all we do and say!

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Have a great weekend!
