Mrs. Bridges is our Middle School Science and Social Studies Teacher. Her deep hope for her students is that, in all we do they see God's story, grasp how important their role is, and be bold image-bearers in their adventure and exploration calls.
7th science students have been working on constructing a 20'x20' monarch waystation to help the struggling monarch population.
This is a 2-phase project that will be completed in the spring. Students get to watch their hard work come to fruition and see God's story unfold through the entire process as they install and care for the waystation. This also aligns with our life science curriculum.
Fremont Christian School will be closed today due to weather conditions. Please stay tuned for more details about our PK-4 Christmas program. Have a great day and stay safe if your are out on the roads.
Señor Johnny Vasquez, 3rd grade Spanish Immersion’s Deep Hope is for his students to embark on a journey where they can learn to thank and serve God for what He has done in us and through us. The storyline is "Be a hero!". Heroes use their talents to help others, so do his students!They are thankful for the things God has done in their lives and show that they are gratefulness by being a blessing to others. Through this school year, the students have used our writing as a means of encouragement to others. They have had the opportunity to write letters to our pals in Muskegon Christian and also to our own classmates when they were sick. Some of these ideas have come from the students. He loves to see these 3rd graders connect their classroom Deep Hope and their desire of been a blessing to everyday needs.
See the Story. Live the Story: today we talked about how Christmas fits in with God’s story. We also heard from Pastor Les from Reeman Church, who shared about the story of Joseph from the Old Testament, and how there are things that look bad, or are intended to show harm, but how God can use it for our good (Gen. 50:20). Pastor Les told us about some hard times in his life, but how God turned his path around and used it for good. Pastor Les also showed us a cool cut glass window that he had made, and told us how he had to cut the glass and put the broken pieces together to make something good and beautiful.
FCS families lets have some fun with the school dress code the next 12 days before Christmas Break! Here is our schedule!

Are you thankful? Some 3rd and 4th graders shared some ideas of thankfulness at chapel today. They portrayed the story of the ten lepers, where only one healed leper came back to thank Jesus for healing. The students read verses for us about thankfulness, and shared about the little things, the big things, and the hard things that they were thankful for.
The Outdoor Education students took a field trip to Camp Henry! We learned about forest and wetland ecology. We did challenge activities like the low ropes course, giant swing, and rock wall. We learned survival skills like fire building, shelter construction, and archery. The day was filled with outdoor adventures! Great Job OE Students!
6th grade and 1st OE/SI got together to name things they are thankful for with the thanksgiving skittles challenge. We reflected on how even when hard things happened there is always something to be thankful for! It was a blessing to hear all the things these young children are thankful for!
Today, as we looked at God’s story in chapel, we took a look at “The Fall.” Some of our staff were involved in a chair skit, where one-by-one they became stuck to the Sin Chair, and couldn’t get free. But as each one read from the Word of God with the story of salvation, they were able to become free from being “stuck” in their sins. We all need the rescuer. We all need Jesus!
Mrs. VandePol's third grade students are in the process of designing Christmas cards for the Newaygo County Council for the Arts Holiday Card Competition. As you can see this is a very talented group. The contest results will be announced on November 19 at the NCCA. The winning cards will be available for purchase in the NCCA-Artsplace holiday shop.
Mrs. Vegter’s Deep Hope is for her Middle School students is to embrace who God created them to be. To nurture their individual gifts and talents to “Inspire and Encourage” others to grow in faith and knowledge. Her story line is “Inspire and Encourage”. Students have been taking inventory on how they can inspire and encourage others. Their thoughts are expressed on a bulletin board in class as a way to remind them of the importance they have on others.
They have also been reflecting individually on what their personal gifts and talents are. In addition, their classmates have provided each other with what they believe their classmate’s gifts and talents are. These activities help the students to see how they can reflect the “Habits of Living” in everyday life.
Start your morning off enjoying some of our elementary students fall artwork!!! Thank you Mrs. V for helping these young kiddos find their inner artists 👨🎨 👩🎨
A big thank you to @Heritage Farms for receiving the 6th graders for their field trip today. Students spent their morning learning how cider is made and discovering facts about the animals at the farm.
The outdoor education Kindergartens discovered how God created different habitats as perfect homes for the creatures that live there. They collected items from both a pond habitat and a forest habitat to compare the homes God made! Enjoy our photo collage of this experience!
Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Donkersloot have the joy of working with our OE Kindergarten students. Mrs Nelson’s deep hope for her students is that they learn of Gods love for them through his Word, his People, and his Creation. Mrs. Donkersloot’s class theme is Growing is God’s Light. With many opportunities to experience God’s creation, our kindergarten students are able to discover who God is and what he has done for us! We are learning how to love each other as God loves us!
Mrs. Yonker’s Deep Hope for her 2nd Grade Outdoor Education students is that they will delight in serving Jesus as they learn about God’s creation. Their storyline is We are God’s Gardeners. Students started the year by taking a close look at the words delight, serve, and learn. They discussed what these words mean and gave many good examples of what it would look like if they were delighting, serving, and learning. As the year progresses, students will discover ways to serve others that grow out of their learning experiences.
For example, sharing flowers the class has grown with people in the neighborhood, sharing produce with those in need, or becoming pen pals with nursing home residents. It is Mrs. Yonker’s hope that her students will learn to delight in serving others as they grow as God’s Gardeners!

This week we had a lot of fun celebrating the season of Fall. Our learning revolved around pumpkins and their cycle of life. We did crafts, measured and compared our pumpkins. We integrated Math by opening our pumpkins, estimating how many seeds we thought were inside the pumpkin and then counting our seeds by making groups of ten. When we added all our numbers we ended up with 7,651 seeds. Those were a lot of seeds! We ended our fun week with a visit by the Kokx's family. They talked to us about the cycle of a pumpkin and brought us some yummy pumpkin snacks. It was a joy to share this special season with our first graders!
