Decker Building Takes Over The Blessing Box
Our Decker classrooms are caring for the Blessing Box on the north side of the Decker building! This is a “give as you can, take as you need” community resource, giving families and community members a chance to receive extra support.

Each month they will donate, organize, and share items—giving FCS a chance to Glow 🌟and our students a chance to Shine their Light🌞, which is our school theme this year, while spreading the love of Jesus in our community.
What a fun week First Grade Spanish Immersion had learning about pumpkins! On Thursday they had their pumpkin day and invited their PreK buddies into their class to show them everything they learned. The first graders showed such ownership of their learning! We are so grateful to be able to provide these opportunities for our students!
