It’s Faith Christian School Night at Culver’s

It’s Faith Christian School Night at Culver’s

May 21, 2022

Monday, May 23, 4:00-9:00pm

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?

2022-2023 Registration Opens

Apr 18, 2022

Faith Christian School (Preschool-12th Grade) is currently accepting applications for student enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year.

Building a Legacy

For more than four decades, FCS has been faithfully serving the Sauk Valley area.  We have seen our graduates attend prestigious colleges and universities across the country–The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Cornell University, Liberty University, Olivet Nazarene University, Virginia Tech University and Indiana Wesleyan University…to name a few.  In and out of the classroom, our goal is to make a positive impact for Christ in the lives of our students.

Looking Through a Christ-centered Lens

At Faith Christian School, all subjects are taught with a Biblical worldview…Jesus Christ is the focus lens through which students will learn and grow in knowledge and understanding.  Not only in Bible but in Reading, Social Studies, Science and Math–Biblical truths are taught and discussed.

For more information on admissions and enrollment, please contact the school office by calling 815.652.4806 or emailing at office@fcsfalcons.com.

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

Dear FCS Families,

As we look toward the next few months, there are two fundraisers remaining for this school year–Fannie Mae Candy Bars and the Laundry Detergent/Trash Bag Sales.

 

Fannie Mae

Information and pre-order forms will be online beginning Monday, February 28 and will be due on Friday, March 4.  Sales will be March 21-April 4 with money due Tuesday, April 5.  Watch for more information at the beginning of next week.

 

Laundry Detergent/Trash Bags

This year, we are combining these two very successful fundraisers.  Sales will take place at the end of April with product delivery happening within the first two weeks of May.

 

We are excited to see a wonderful finish to the fundraising season. We are thankful for each family and your amazing support of Faith Christian School.

Now, who wants some chocolate?? 😀

 

Thank you for your help,

Mrs. Worrell and Mr. Fassler

The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-Up

The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-Up

Dec 9, 2021

“On the first day of Christmas Dress-up, the Student Council gave to me…” For the second year in a row, the FCS Student Council is sponsoring “The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-up” at the Middle School/High School.  Each day, there is a different dress-up theme, and students don their favorite holiday apparel for some Christmas fun.  Ninth grade student, Helen Pfeiffer said, “Dressing up is a great way to express Christmas cheer!”  Lainey Guerrero, also a 9th grader, shared that “to dress in the theme of things brings joy and cheer!”

 

First week themes included Christmas Morning Pajamas Day, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree Day, Who-ville Neon and Crazy Hair Day, Christmas Movie Character Day and Flannel Day.  Many thanks to Mrs. Heller and the Student Council crew for putting this event together.  “The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-Up” began November 29, and will conclude on Tuesday, December 14…just in time for finals!

Dear FCS Families,

November is underway and lots of exciting things are happening at school.  We wanted to take a moment to share several of those items with you.

 

2nd Quarter Fundraiser

We have partnered with Blue Freedom Farm Markets in Sterling to bring you this quarter’s fundraiser.  Blue Freedom offers premium fruit, cheese and sausage products.  Each family should have received a printed brochure that includes pricing and an order form. (If you have not received an order form, please contact the school office.)  Orders can also be placed online.  All orders must be received by Tuesday, November 16, 2021.  Items will be delivered to the Middle School/High School for pick-up mid-December.  For more information, please contact Mrs. Heller.

 

Scrip Informational Meeting

Are you interested in learning how to earn money for your fundraising goal or child’s tuition just by doing your everyday shopping? Join Mrs. Heller on Tuesday, November 9, at 6:30p.m., for an informative meeting on the “Shop with Scrip” program.  The meeting will be held at the Middle School/High School building in Room 102.  For more information, please contact Mrs. Heller at theller@fcsfalcons.com.

 

“The Best Gift” Live Nativity

This Christmas season, we will be celebrating Jesus’ birthday by presenting a Live Nativity outdoors.  This special event will need the help of students, parents and staff to make it a success.  Watch for more information coming soon with details about how you can get involved!

 

Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF)

Our PTF Executive Committee has reconvened and is working to help make this school year a great success.  Faith Christian School considers it an honor and a privilege to be able to partner with parents and families throughout the school year.  In fact, the school relies on the commitment of parents to accomplish many of the needs associated with operating our school.  Throughout the year, you may be contacted by members of the PTF Executive Committee to help with a school project.  Please consider saying “yes” when the invitation is given.  We know that the reward will far outweigh the sacrifice of time and service.

 

Scholastic Book Fair Coming Soon

We are once again hosting the Scholastic Book Fair at FCS.  The Book Fair will be held December 6-10, in the library at the Elementary building.  Shopping hours will be posted soon.  The Scholastic Book Fair is a great place to shop for Christmas gifts.  Plus, the more products that are sold translates to more free books for the school library.  It’s a win-win!!

 

Other Calendar Items

Wednesday, November 17—FULL DAY of school (previously scheduled as a half-day)

Friday, November 19—No School

November 19-20—Zetterberg Tournament at FCS…Come support the Lady Falcons Varsity Basketball!!

November 24-26—No School…Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.  For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.  Psalm 100:4-5, NIV

 

Blessings to you all,

Mrs. Worrell and Mr. Fassler

Grandparent Getcha Day

Dear FCS Families,

 

We want to take this opportunity to invite your child’s grandparents to “Grandparent Getcha Day” on Friday, October 29, at 12:00p.m.  Grandparents will have the opportunity to pick up their grandchildren (12:00 dismissal day) and be celebrated in the process.  Banners and decorations will line the drives of both campuses, and goodie bags will be distributed to grandparents while they wait for their grandchildren in the carline.  It is our desire to let grandparents know how much they are loved and appreciated!

 

Also, we know that one of the great traditions of Grandparents’ Day for our students is getting to leave school with their grandparents and then spend the afternoon together.  We hope that “Grandparent Getcha Day” will carry on the specialness of this tradition.  While Grandparents’ Day 2021 will look different from years past, we are excited to welcome grandparents back to school…even if it is only in the carline.  Our hope is that when they exit the school drive, there will be no doubt in their minds how thankful we are for them.

 

If your child will be picked up by their grandparents, we ask that you RSVP to the school office by this Friday, October 22.  Please let us know how many grandparents will be picking up your child and if they need a Sugar-free alternative treat.  You can RSVP by sending an email to office@fcsfalcons.com,  calling 815.652.4806, or returning the paper that was sent home with your child (on Tuesday, October 20).  Please note, Friday, October 29, is a 12:00 Dismissal.

 

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we move forward in this school year.

 

Blessings,

Mrs. Worrell and Mr. Fassler

  2. Parent/Teacher Conferences—Thursday, October 14, and Friday, October 15.
  3. End of First Quarter—The end of First Quarter has been moved to Friday, October 22. There will be no change to the end date for Second Quarter.

  5. Wednesday, November 17—Full Day of School

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Email invitations for Parent/Teacher Conferences will be sent out by Monday, October 4 (Middle School/High School invitations have already been sent.).  Sign-ups are done through Signupgenius.com.  Once sign-ups are live, slots are filled on a “first come, first serve” basis.  For more information, please contact your child’s teacher or the office.

 

Grandparents’ Day

The 2021 Grandparents’ Day celebration is scheduled for Friday, October 29, at 9:00 a.m.  We are currently finishing up plans for this special program.  Watch for more details coming soon!

 

Pause Make-up Days

First of all, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your understanding and support during the pause in September.  We know that it was a difficult time for many; your thoughtfulness and prayers meant so much to us.  Secondly, there will be no change to the Fall Break schedule.  We know that many vacations have already been planned for this week…again no change to Fall Break.

Our plan—

*Wednesday, November 17, will be a full day of school (originally a 12:00 dismissal).

*Winterim Week (March 7-11) will now be academic, in-class days.  The Middle School/High School may still do a service project one afternoon during the week.  This change does not affect the Junior/Senior Missions Trip.

*Other 12:00 Dismissal Wednesdays may be changed to full days of school.  We will try to notify you in a timely manner if those changes are deemed necessary.

 

Thank you for your willingness to be a part of the ministry at Faith Christian School.  We know that God has His hand upon this year, and He is going to continue to do great things as we grow in Him.

 

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6)

 

Stay tuned…the best is yet to come!

 

Blessings,

Mrs. Worrell and Mr. Fassler
