Spiritual Heroes Week

LOWER SCHOOL NEWS
Monday, March 1, 2004

Super heroes. Television heroes. Cartoon heroes. All of our children have their favorite “super heroes.” Well, hold on to your capes, because SFCS students in PK3 through 5th Grades are about to unleash the joy and wonder of their favorite SPIRITUAL HEROES! During the week of Monday, March 8, through Friday, March 12, PK3 through 3rd Grade students will be visited each day by a “real” Bible hero. Each classroom will also participate in a special service project that will expand the development of each child’s Christian character.

4th and 5th Grade classes will participate in poster and essay contests during the week. Winners will present their works in a special chapel and will enjoy a special lunch with Lower School Administrator, Joyce Stocks. Students will also dress in character and share stories from Hero Tales.

The Chapel, to be held on Wednesday, March 10, will include guest speaker, Brent Turner from Devenger Road Presbyterian Church. He will speak on Christian character. The SFCS God’s Kids Choir will also provide special music. The Spiritual Heroes week will end with a Bible Character Day on Friday, March 12. PK3 through 5th Grade students will dress as their favorite Bible heroes – bringing our Spiritual Heroes to life!


Expanded Library Hours

Those students interested in checking out books from the Lower School Library will now have more opportunities for hunting down their favorite books. The Lower School Library will now be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. AND Monday through Thursday afternoons from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Remember, students may check out only ten books at a time and books are to be returned within ONE week. Happy reading!
