It is time again for our annual School Work Days. On Friday, August 5, from 4:00-8:00pm, and Saturday, August 6, from 8:00am-12:00noon, volunteers are needed to help get both the Elementary and Middle School/High School campuses ready for the start of the new school year. From cleaning to landscaping, there are jobs for everyone. Please note, if you are planning to help at the Middle School/High School campus, we ask that you park at the Elementary and walk the path to the MS/HS. Paving is scheduled to begin this next week! Yay!
Additional opportunity–Also on Friday, August 5, from 8:00am-4:00pm, we will begin the installation of the new Elementary playground, specifically the natural play area and pea gravel pit. If you would like to also help with this project, please contact Mrs. Worrell via email at cworrell@fcsfalcons.com or call the school office at 815.652,4806.
Make plans now to attend one of the work days…great things are accomplished when we work together! 🙂
Join us at the Dixon Culver’s for an evening of yummy food and fundraising for FCS. A portion of the sales from the evening will go to benefit the FCS Outdoor Improvement Fund (which includes the Elementary Playground and the paving of the parking lot and drive at the Middle School/High School.). A higher portion of sales will be donated for every online order placed between the hours of 5:00-8:00pm. We are thankful for our local Culver’s and their willingness to help support the school. Now, who wants a Butterburger and some frozen custard?
Faith Christian School (Preschool-12th Grade) is currently accepting applications for student enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year.

In and out of the classroom, our goal is to make a positive impact for Christ in the lives of our students.
