HEADLINE STORY
Monday, August 7, 2005

Welcome back to Shannon Forest Christian School for the 2005-2006 school year. The beginning of a new school year has arrived, finding Kathy Neely and I both anxious to fill the hallways with chatter. What we see of God’s provision teaches us to trust Him for what we cannot see of His purposes The Lord has certainly provided for SFCS this summer. I must confess that when I first hit my knees last spring pleading for enrollment to stabilize, my faith did not foresee that we would not only hold enrollment numbers but we would also grow in population. Monday, August 15, over 525 students will exit cars and enter our classrooms for the first day of school. Over 130 new students will walk our hallways - a living testament to the Lord’s faithfulness to SFCS.

*Stanford Testing: A Stanford testing workshop for parents will be scheduled with Mrs. Alice-Ann Holman in late August or early September. Further details will follow…

*Orientation Meetings: Due to scheduling conflicts I am combining a couple of the Grade level meetings. Please note the changes in these important meetings:

These meetings will provide parents with the opportunity to engage with the faculty about their child and have the opportunity to receive general schoolwide information regarding short-range and long-range plans. Upper School students will have the opportunity to meet in the Multi-purpose Room of the Lower School Building 300, with their class sponsors, elect officers and discuss class activities for the school year. Parent meetings will be held in the Lower Level Meeting Rooms of Building 300 on the Lower School Campus and will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m. Please note that the 5th Grade meeting will take place in the Upper School Cafeteria.
