Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) Lower School families are invited to enjoy the SECOND Family Creative Night of the school year!  This is a community outreach art program that brings families together for fun and creativity.  The upcoming evening on Thursday, February 9, will include learning about clay hand-building techniques to create a clay pot.

Materials will be provided at no cost to participating families.  Our community Kohl’s friends will be volunteering for this event and through the Kohl’s Education Program our Lower School Art Department can receive $500!

The evening will also feature door prizes donated by a generous SFCS parent, so join us in the East Campus Multi-purpose Room from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Please note that all clay projects will need to stay at school for firing.  Mrs. Stewart, a SFCS parent, will finish the pottery in her kiln.  Participants will need to allow a couple of weeks to receive their fired pottery pieces.

Space is limited, so please fill out the form below and return it to Mrs. Mendola by Monday, January 30.  Your confirmation of participation will be sent via email.

The Shannon Forest PK4 students of Stephanie Harrison and Monica Sowles recently visited the “Away in a Manger” program at Roper Mountain.  Students traveled down a path on the mountain to an authentic stable where they recreated the Christmas story and saw real animals that might have been in the stable on that Holy Night.  The children also participated in a craft in which they made sheep using real wool.
