Have A Blessed New Year!
There are many things to be thankful for as we reflect back on the holiday season. As we
just celebrated Christmas, I am thankful for a God who would send us his only Son so that we
may have eternal life.
Also, many thanks to our Fine Arts teachers, Mrs. Falcon, for leading the Elementary, Junior High and Senior High choirs and Mr. Hanson in leading the band. Thank you to Mrs.
Gregornik for helping to organize the piano students that played the concert Prelude and also
helping with accompaniment. We appreciate the excellent Christmas concerts. It is a joy to
observe the talents of the students that God has orchestrated together under the leadership
of our directors. Thank you to Mrs. Erdman who helped with decorations and set up and Mr.
Swedberg, lights and sound.
Please join us in welcoming two new families who have just enrolled their students at FCS:
* 2nd grader, Li’ianela Hake and her parents Larry and Lucie Hake.
* 9th grader, Anna Belle Coletti, 10th grader, David Coletti and 12th grader, Andrew Coletti
and their parents Tony and Kimberly Coletti.

Keep our FCS Board of Directors in your prayers as they seek God for His direction in the
leading of our school. Pray for the finances of our school and that God would grant wisdom as
we continue to budget for the months ahead and plan for the upcoming school year.
THANK YOU to those who have given to the FCS Year End Appeal and to those who gave to
the Teacher/Staff Christmas Fund. We are so grateful and thank each of you who faithfully
pray and support the ministry at FCS. What a privilege it is to have the opportunity to offer a
quality, Christ-centered education to our children.
