Faith Christian Academy Newsletter

CRISLENNY We want to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the young girl that our school supports through Com-passion International. Crislenny lives in the Dominican Re-public. Her birthday is September 13th and she is 6 years old. She has two sib-lings. We have been supporting her as a school for two years. In addition to a monthly support of $38, we send money for birthday and Christmas gifts as well as some basic necessities. With the support from FCA, she has access to a support center as well as a local church. We encourage all of our students to

bring in $1.00 each month toward her support. We also encourage each family to pray for Crislenny col-lectively and commit to supporting this young lady.

Hot Lunches on Thursdays! Don’t forget that hot lunches are available on Thursdays. Sign up by Tuesday and pay by Wednesday. Unless otherwise stated, the cost of lunch is $4 while pizza is $1 per slice. Drinks are not included but are available at Snack Shack. You can pay by cash or by check with “Hot Lunch” in the memo section.

Warm Fuzzies to Support Crislenny!

Warm Fuzzies will be beginning again after fall break. Starting October 17, students, parents, and staff can send approved notes to each other. There are three types of Warm Fuzzies.

$1 Send a message to someone...it will be read out loud. $2 Send a message with a specific action or request. Examples: “Read this while standing on one foot.” or “Sing this to the tune of Gilligan's Island.” $3 Send a message and choose a staff member to deliver it. These could

be read or even sung. Your choice!

All funds raised go to support Crislenny (see the article on Page 1). Volunteer readers can sign up in the office to deliver Warm Fuzzies. You must be willing to follow requested actions! HOW: Get a green slip from the office, fill it out, have it pre-read and signed by a Staff member, pay the office, and put your Warm Fuzzy in the box on Mrs. Jessica's desk.
