Number One at FMCS!

A special presentation was made this morning in our elementary school. The Lee County Public Library System holds a bookmark contest each year. In the past, we have had students recognized at different levels, but we have never had the "number one" winner in the county - that all chnaged today! The theme this year was "Blast Off With Books." There were 310 entries from 10 different schools in the area. Out of that group, our school has four students recognized in the top ten:

10th place in the county: Hannah Upton, 4th grade
8th place in the county: Stephanie Blum, 4th grade
4th place in the county: Ethan Liebetreu, 5th grade
1ST PLACE IN THE COUNTY: ERIN REEVES, 3RD GRADE

Erin will also be recognized on November the 12th at a reception at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Fort Myers!

Missions Assembly Today

MANY THANKS TO OUR STUDENTS, STAFF, PARENTS, FRIENDS AND PARTNERS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP US WITH OUR Mission 25:40 Program. We had a great assembly today highlighting each grade and ministry for this year. God is doing great things in the school!

For more information, go to: http://fmcs-fl.org/category/campus-life/missions/

Our students also kicked-off the Operation Christmas Child by joining with First Assembly to send over 2000 shoeboxes this year to children in need around the world! Our Honoe Society students are holding some of the first shoeboxes to be brought over from FMCS!

Capture The Flag!

Congratulations to the 5th grade and 2A for their positive example and stewardship at lunch time. Those classes finished first on Mrs. Edward's reward system! The spirit flag will stay in the 5th grade classroom this month.

Fourth Grader Meets the Mayor

Fourth grader, Lucas Bell, has been working on his Florida report in Mrs. Sanders class. In the report outline it is indicated that he could receive extra credit for a picture with the mayor. His mom thought it would be a great opportunity for him to meet the mayor. He was very excited when I got him a appointment with Mayor Henderson. Mayor Henderson talked about his family, what he did in the past, where he worked, and why he decided to run for mayor. Lucas really enjoyed the autographed book about early Ft Myers, and a lapel pin. It was a great experience for Lucas and his mom.

Accelerated Math Wall of Fame 2010-11

Mr. Mitchell has posted his "Accelerated Math Wall of Fame 2010-11" on the back wall of the second floor of the Children's Center. The more objectives a student accomplishes in Accelerated Math, the closer they will get to having their name written on a pennant for the wall. This is the way it works:

White pennant - 50 objectives mastered
Blue pennant - 75 objectives mastered
Red pennant - 100 objectives mastered or more

We are thankful that Parent University provided this program a couple of years ago for our 2nd thru 8th graders. We are looking forward to more pennants going up during the year and for the wall to fill-up!

Our first three this year:
- Meghan Kline (currently at 63 mastered)
- Alexander Coval (59 mastered)
- Cole Ames (50 mastered)

Thank you teachers and parents for motivating your students!

Games 2 U Party

Thirty-seven students in grades K-5 enjoyed a Games 2 U party today! Those students sold 10 or more items during the Abundant Funds school fundraiser. They had a great time with two hours out of class, games on the inside of the truck, games on the outside of the truck, and laser tag. Thanks to Parent University for providing this prize.
