SFCS Moves Ahead
with Technology!
HEADLINE STORY
Monday, March 29, 2004
This year, the new Crusader Communiqué has
grown in popularity not only with students, parents
and faculty; it has also become weekly reading for
community leaders and partners of Shannon Forest Christian
School (SFCS). We have also received positive feedback
from SFCS Alumni who read the newsletter to keep up-to-date
with current school news and events.
In order to continue
increasing the distribution of the Communiqué and
to deliver it in
an efficient, timely and cost effective manner, our
Lower School parents will join the Upper School parents
in receiving the Crusader Communiqué in an electronic
form via email.
The current edition will be the last hard
copy issue to be placed in the folders of Lower School
students. Please be sure the school has your current
email address on file. You may contact Tracie Blakely
at tblakely@shannonforest.com with any updated information.
You may also add other family members and friends
to the email distribution list. There will also be
a limited
number of printed copies of the newsletter placed
in the lobbies of the Lower School Office and the Main
School Office lobby located in the Middle School.
May 13 is a Great Day to Golf for SFCS!
Not long after
sunrise on Thursday, May 13, volunteer golfers and
their caddies - students of SFCS - will be finishing
up their juice and muffins, climbing into their golf
carts and teeing off for 100 holes of golf. This could
only mean one thing…
… It’s time
for the SFCS 11th Annual 100-Hole Golf Marathon!
Participants
will have the entire Southern Oaks Golf Course to themselves
for this great day of fellowship between parents, teachers,
students and friends of SFCS. “This is one of
the school’s major fund-raising events for the
year,” says Headmaster Doug McLaughlin who participated
in his first 100-Hole Marathon last year. “We
look forward to a wonderful day of getting to know
more parents and supporters of our school.” Anyone
who is passionate for the cause of Christ through Christian
education and is willing to secure the sponsors to
support them is invited to play. Golfers may be eligible
to win some great prizes, too! Prizes include a VIP
certificate to play any of the Cliff’s Community
golf courses (foursome with carts included), golf pro
shop gift certificates, restaurant certificates and
more.
“ We are also looking for additional prizes,
$100-hole sponsors that receive a sign at one of the
18 holes and helpers to keep our golfers and caddies
fed and hydrated on this exhausting adventure,” says
Development Director, Steve Whaley. If you would like
to participate in any of these roles, or you would
like to sponsor one of the volunteer golfers, parents
or teachers, please contact Steve Whaley at 864.678.5113
or via email at swhaley@shannonforest.com.
Drama Days Are Coming!
On Thursday, April 1, and Friday, April 2, the SFCS
5th and 6th Grades respectively, will spend the day
testing their dramatic abilities, broadening their
imaginations and fine-tuning their performance skills
during the ever-popular Drama Day! Students will take
part in classes on Voice and Diction, Characterization,
Improvisation and Theatre Games. Highlights will include
two performances held each day in SFCS Gymnasium. From
10:15 a.m. to 10:35 a.m., the Upper School will perform
a portion of the spring play, Friends, Romans, and
Country Folk, written by our own Alvin Sell. Then,
from 1:55 p.m. to 2:50 p.m., the 5th & 6th Grade
students will perform short scenes from various plays
