The Outdoor Education students welcomed the Michigan Farm Bureau FARM Science Van to FCS. The FARM Science Van program provided students with STEM-based lessons that increase agricultural awareness. The K-2nd grade students created window gardens, and the 3rd-6th grade students learned about Michigan’s sugar beet industry.

Outdoor Education 5th and 6th graders are developing a garden plan for their plots in the hoop house. They’ve prepared the beds, selected their seeds, and are measuring/mapping out where to plant based on spacing requirements on the seed packets. We look forward to experimenting with extending the growing season using the hoop house and growing our own leafy greens, radishes, carrots, Swiss chard, cucumbers, beans, and zucchini!

Last Day Celebration Chapel! Today we celebrated how our awesome God moved during the year, and how we can have a personal relationship with him, through praise, pondering his Word and world, prayer, and pursuing a Christian life. We watched pictures of the year, and the 3rd graders helped us to review the verses from each month. We sang praise songs to God, and the 5th/6th dance team helped us to worship in dance. We had the 8th graders and Kindergartners stand and affirm the pledge the 8th graders had made at the beginning of the year. We had presentations of ways students pursued God in recycling and spending time outdoors. As we go forward into the summer, it is our prayer that we can “Be still, and know that I am God.! Ps. 46:10.
Elementary Praise Chapel: this morning we pursued our personal relationships with God in praise, prayer, and pondering God’s Word. Different classes led us in praise, and many students shared verses with us. Miss Katie Nicholas shared a dramatic recitation of Acts 16, and Paul and Silas’s escape from jail. We pray that FCS students will continue to put God’s Word into their hearts!
Leadership! We are grateful that our 8th and 7th graders are learning leadership skills. We do it all year long, in family groups, buddies, chapels, and more. This was also so evident today at our Field day, as our Middle School leaders ran different stations, under the guidance of our gym teacher, Miss Bouma. What a great opportunity to learn to lead, teach, encourage, and learn in a supportive setting. FCS: raising up leaders to impact the world for Christ!
Pursue Family Group Friday! Today we explored things we grow at Fremont Christian in our Family Group circles: things like plants, trees, kids, faith, love, patience, friendship and more! Then we talked about what helps to make these things grow: God!! Love, help from others, teaching, prayer, reading the Bible, encouraging others, being a good friend, etc. We had people stand and show how the adults and older students can help and encourage younger students to pursue and grow too! We talked and sang about how we need to Pursue God and give him the praise in all we do! Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

3rd Grade OE explored using polygons for beauty creating in their math unit on shapes.
Chapel Friday: Pursue! This month we are talking about pursuing God. This means we love God above all, and our neighbor as ourselves. We want to follow God’s ways and serve God in our daily life. We met together in our family group circles and talked about different questions: how can we pursue God? How can we love God above all and our neighbor as ourselves? How are we seeing God move this year? We are thankful that we can have a active faith in a great, loving, and mighty God, and know that God’s Holy Spirit is here to help us.
