4th Grade students learn what to feed the monkeys at the zoo.

This is as close as it gets!

The SFCS 4th Grade students recently experienced their annual field trip to the Greenville Zoo. But, this was no ordinary field trip! On Friday, May 14, and Friday, May 21, Mrs. Roggow’s and Mrs. Ray’s classes experienced a trip to the zoo they will never forget. Students and chaperones went behind the scenes of the elephant barn, got close up and personal with a lion and prepared breakfast for the huge tortoises (topped with a yummy mouse). An additional highlight came in the form of a late night hike through the zoo and an adventurefilled sleep over!

Grab your jumpsuit and parachute and join the fun at SKYDIVE 2004, the Vacation Bible School program at Shannon Forest Presbyterian Church. All children who are 4- years of age through the 5th Grade are invited to attend the program to be held on Monday, June 14 – Friday, June 18, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon. The week is free of charge and open to everyone, so bring a friend! If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Elizabeth Sipe at 678.5119 until noon or at 288.6372 after noon.

The SFCS 3rd Grade classes will experience their final field trip of the year when they travel to Cherokee, North Carolina on Tuesday, May 25. Students will visit the Oconoluftee Indian Reservation and spread God’s love throughout the Tsali Care Facility. Not only will the trip be a lesson in the history of the Carolinas, it will also be a mission of good will. Students will depart at 8:00 a.m. and return by 5:30 p.m.

One of the most emotional steps a child takes in his or her educational career is the big step from Kindergarten into 1st Grade. SFCS is proud to recognize all of our K5 students in a special graduation ceremony to be held on Thursday, May 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the SFPC Sanctuary. There will be a reception immediately following, in Building 300 (Lunchroom) on the Lower School Campus.
