2024 Christmas Project
Let's join together and shine the Light of the Gospel to those who were—and still are—affected by Hurricane Helene this past fall. FRCS is taking donations now through December 20th in an effort to show our support, and most importantly, share the Gospel to those who are suffering. Partnering with Tabernacle Baptist Church in Hickory, NC, gives us a unique opportunity to directly impact lives of real people like us instead of an organization.
If you'd like to give, you can donate online or through your child's class. We thank each of you for taking this opportunity to bless someone else. May your generosity and compassion be blessed beyond measure and given back to you one day.
Luke 6:38-"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
Elementary Christmas Program, 12/5 @ 7:00
Tonight, yes tonight, as in December 5th our preschool through 5th graders will be wowing you with their Christmas cheer and talent. While the program officially starts at 7:00, you'll want come a little early to get the good seats.
Please have your students in their respective places at 6:45. We do start on time and it would be so disappointing to have Little Betty miss out because she was late and her class left without her. We all know what happens next. Betty is crying, you're crying, I'm crying, we're all crying and no one has any tissues. Really. It's a fiasco. So please. Have your students there on time.
And I have good news. After the program when those tummies are grumbling for a snacky snack, our cheerleaders will have you covered with a bake sale. Just head on out to the church lobby (seriously, you cannot miss it. Look for lines of people) and find something that floats your boat. (If there's rice krispy treats, please leave some for me. Or at least don't taunt me if you purchase them all. I won't be held accountable for my actions.)

Brownie Sundae Friday, 12/6
If your student comes to you and asks if there's something around the house they can do to earn $2, don't panic. They have not, I repeat, not been abducted by aliens and replaced with a robotic house-cleaning clone. They're simply trying to make sure they will have $2 for this week's brownie sundae on Friday sale.

MS/HS Christmas Program, 12/10 @ 7:00
You know how I mentioned that we will be having our elementary Christmas program on Thursday? Well, we don't have favorites here (that's not true. I totally have favorites. You know who you are.) so our MS/HS will be knocking your socks off with their awesome Christmas talent and spirit on Tuesday, December 10th. Again, the program starts at 7:00; they will need to be here at 6:45. And again, our cheerleaders will be hosting their famous bake sale afterward in the church lobby so come prepared.
Merit Day, 12/12
If your 7th-12th grader comes to you and says they don't have to go to school next Thursday because it's merit day, they're probably not trying pull a fast one over on you. If they have less than 10 demerits for the semester, they will indeed not have to be here at school. Talk about motivation!
Exam Schedule, 12/17-12/20
And because it's that time of year, here's the Exam Schedule for your viewing pleasure. Or panic. Depends on how prepared you are.

Well, that's kind of interesting...- If I were to ask you what the deadliest animal in the world was, what would you answer? Tiger? Lion? Bear? You'd be wrong. It's actually the mosquito because of how many diseases they carry. Seriously, it's a good thing I wasn't on Noah's Ark. I would have been so tempted...
- There is new research that says the human nose can discern at least a trillion different odors. Which makes me wonder, why does all men's cologne smell like an Axe truck dumped their entire smelly load onto the expressway? I think my nose isn't working properly.
- The longest fingernails recorded were 42 feet (total) long. Which is the stuff of nightmares. I am not ok. Who does that? What does this person do all day long beside watching her nails grow?!
- It's said that all the colors of Froot Loops taste the same. It's been a long time since I've had Froot Loops, but I do believe I need to try them sometime soon. I'm positive the red ones tasted different than the others. Now I need to know!
