A Message From the Upper School
HEADLINE STORY
Monday, February 2, 2004
I wish to once again, thank each and every parent
who took the time to attend the Upper School information
meetings. It was exciting to see such a high attendance
on a weekday evening. I trust you found the time informative
and are affirmed that SFCS does listen to your suggestions
and respond when staffing and finances permit. The
following points are highlights that Upper School families
can look forward to in the
coming year.

- The Middle School program will be conducted on
a modified schedule.
- The 6th Grade will join the Middle
School schedule in 2004-2005.
- Middle School Fine Arts will be graded
on a pass/fail basis and will be conducted
on a 12-week rotation.
- Middle School Physical Education will be teamed
with Bible for all 6th-8th Grade
students. (45 minute blocks)
- Upper School electives will include
Law Education, Astronomy/Meteorology, Photography and Graphic Design.
Re-registration
will be conducted from Monday February 2, through Friday, February 13, for
returning SFCS families. Scheduling will be conducted
by Mr. Jeff Phillips over the next
few weeks. Schedules cannot be confirmed until registration is completed. We
are anticipating the opportunity to continue serving a large number of families
again next year. Please do not doubt how much we appreciate the sacrifices
you make to continue your commitment to this ministry.
In closing, I wish to share
an interesting fact I learned today. Psalm 118 is the center of the Bible.
There are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118.
If you add those two numbers you
get 1188. The center verse in
the Bible is Psalm 118:8. “
It is Better to take refuge in the Lord than
to trust in man” Psalms 118:8 NIV
How incredible was the way this worked
out or was God in the center? The next time
you seek God’s perfect will for your life or desire for you and your family
to be in His
perfect will, just go to the center of God’s Word.
As always, it is a pleasure
to serve you and your family and I look forward to attempting great
things in the lives of your children in the future.
In His Service,
Brenda K. Hillman
Upper
School Administrator
