SFCS After School Music Program Flourishing!


The hallways of Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) are filled with the sounds of music well after the last class bell rings for the day. Current students as well as those from the community are taking advantage of the wide variety of private music lessons offered at our school. After school training is available in piano, voice, strings, guitar, percussion and a selection of band instruments. For more information on this convenient way to include private music instruction in your child’s life, please contact Mrs. Ashley King, Director of Fine Arts, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Shannon Forest US Wins Roper Mountain Holiday Card Contest!


The results are in from the Roper Mountain Holiday Card Contest and our Upper School’s entry won first place! The Lower School’s card received Honorable Mention. This was the first year SFCS participated in the exhibit. The review of the Lower School entry was as follows: “Shannon Forest is a playful nativity scene, with Joseph apparently enjoying the process of changing diapers…a very innocent depiction.” Upper School comments were; “There is always a Van Gogh each year. With camels moving across the undulating landscape, this is a very peaceful piece.”

5th Grade Artists Recognized for Design Excellence
Shannon Forest Lower School Administrator, Kathy Neely thought the worn, brown bench outside the East Campus workroom needed a new look, so Mili Mendola’s 5th Grade Art class went to work. Students Aaron Schickler and Lauren Doughty were selected to have their drawings painted on the bench. Their works were chosen for creativity and design.
