Christian Author Bill Myers

Popular Christian author, Bill Myers recently paid a visit to the SFCS Campus. The event was in conjunction with the recent Takehome Book Fair with Thomas Nelson Publishers. Myers spoke to students in 3rd through 6th Grades about his life as a Christian author and film director. He shared his many life adventures since his decision to always say “yes” to God including being lost in the Amazon Rain Forest and visiting Mt. Everest. Myers ended his visit by autographing books for the students. He also visited with 6th Grade students, teaching them about the writing process and assisting them in beginning a story of their own.

SFCS Basketball season has begun and with it comes the ever-popular “ Adopt An Athlete” Program! Each member of the school’s Varsity teams has been assigned to partner with a class in the 1st through 5th Grades. The result of that partnership is played out in lots of fun and support of our athletes. “I truly believe we have some of the finest student athletes here at SFCS,” says Athletic Director Rita Harrell. “If given the opportunity, they can have a tremendous influence on our younger people” Athletes will spend weekly visits to their Lower School classes discussing recent game highlights as well as sharing their testimonies of leading a Christian life. In turn, the Lower School students will pray for their athletes, encourage them to be the best they can be and attend as many games as possible. Students will also attend a Homecoming pep rally where they will have the opportunity to create and display a sign to cheer their athletes on to victory! Parents can get involved too, by spending time at home, including their students’ athletes in daily prayer and discussion time.

1st Grade
Mrs. Spurgeon - #11 Laura Cornett & #25 Jim Palmer
