Lost & Found Sale, 2/26-2/28
We're right smack dab in the middle of the lost & found sale of this month. So if you haven't seen that one shoe or that bookbag in a bit, you want to look at the tables before everything is cleared out on Friday. Everything's $1.
Open Enrollment, 3/1
Two very special things will be happening this week and I feel I need to share this with you.
1. The day after tomorrow, March 1st, enrollment will be open to the public. So, this is your last call, your last chance to get that $400 in and save your space before we open the doors to the public. Again. This is the one thing you do not want to put off. I've heard classes are filling up fast.
2. The day after tomorrow is also the 1st day of March. Which means get ready because this is the time of year when everything goes into super-drive and FRCS gets so busy that the weeks blur by and before you know it, we're out of school for the summer.
Sportsman's Night, 3/8
Join us for FRBC's annual Sportsman's Night, March 8th! Come get in line for the archery shoot, rock wall climbing, and my personal favorite, axe throwing starting at 2 pm. Followed at 5 pm with the outdoor seminar and dinner featuring the Chad Schearer family at 3148 Franklin Road, Murfreesboro, TN.
All attendees will be eligible to win door prizes like hunting and fishing gear, wolf muzzleloaders, compound bows, and more, all wrapped up in a great time with some pretty great people.
Middle School Tournament Results
Congratulations to both teams - we're super proud of you all!

Black History Month - The Tuskegee Airmen
If you've lived any time in this world, no matter how hard you may try, no matter how hard you push yourself, no matter what it is that you're trying to accomplish, you will find that life isn't fair.
Some give up and use the excuse, "it doesn't matter anyway so why should I try?"
Others dig deep and show up anyway.
Back during World War 2, the US Military had a stupid thing called racial segregation which meant that blacks were trained and served separately from whites. Instead of giving up, the Tuskegee Airmen decided to show up.
In 1941, the Army Air Corps began admitting blacks into flight training, and by 1946, a total of 992 pilots had graduated from the program, many earning high military honors, such as Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., who became the first black general in the US Air Force.
The program was such a success, that a decision was made by the US government to end racial discrimination in the military.
During World War 2, the Tuskegee Airmen were so good at their jobs, they had one of the best records of not losing bombers to enemy fire as they escorted them to their destination. Shooting down 112 enemy aircraft, obviously, they were in high demand because of their low loss record.
Against all odds, the Tuskegee Airmen were prized and respected in the Army Air Force and changed the way the military viewed African Americans.
