"God's Kids" Choir

Students in the SFCS “God’s Kids” choir competed in a choir competition held on Saturday, May 1, at Paramount’s Carowinds Amusement Park. The group, made up of SFCS 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade students received a rating of Excellent, the second to the highest rating awarded in the competition. After the performance, the choir enjoyed a day in the park.

Instructor, Kimberly Graham plays.

SFCS Orchestra students will perform sacred pieces, folk songs, classical music, and pop selections like Batman and 007 in an upcoming spring concert. Both the Beginning and Intermediate Orchestra will perform on Tuesday, May 18, at 7:00 p.m. in the SFPC Sanctuary.

Field Day for Lower School students in 1st through 6th Grades will be held on Tuesday, May 11! 1st through 3rd Grade students 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. 4th through 6th Grade students 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. All students should wear their SFCS t-shirts and MUST WEAR TENNIS SHOES or they will not be allowed to participate. Water will be available at each of the stations and an icy treat will be provided at the end of the day. The purpose of Field Day is to provide an opportunity for students to work together and have a great time. The emphasis is on good sportsmanship and cooperation rather than on winning or individual talent.

SFCS 1st Grade classes rallied to support their “Upper School students” in raising funds for the summer Cherokee Mission Trip. Students collected every cent they could find in a penny drive that took place right before Easter. This drive raised an unbelievable amount of $340! The class also held a bake sale and raised an additional $101 toward the cause. The total amount raised by the 1st Grade to support their six “class students” was $441! Way to go 1st Grade!
