Included with each card is a Bible tract with a Bible verse for each letter of the alphabet, and another Bible tract on the ARMOR OF GOD... Also included is a little plastic handmade "CROSS IN MY POCKET" with stitching made by my neighbor ladies...I believe I received 50+ cards between the two classes. The total number of cards being sent as of close Oct 31, is estimated at 450!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. God Bless you and God Bless America!"

Book Fair Report

2011-05-26T08:40:00.002-04:00

Hi FMCS Family! I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who came to the Scholastic Book Fair and helped to make it a success! With your help we earned over $1300 in new books for our school library. Way to Go!

A special thank you to our fourth and fifth grade students who helped to create most of the carnival decorations used at the book fair. Thank you to Mrs. Jean Gains, and Mrs. Jill Sherman who helped the volunteer book fair coordinator Mrs. Peggy Benton set up the book fair. It looked lovely ladies. And thank you also to Mrs. Leah Kitzinger, Mrs. Jenevieve Johnson and Miss Tina Blanden who helped to pack it up so quickly on Friday afternoon.
