LOWER SCHOOL NEWS
Monday, August 7, 2005

A school is just not a school until the children arrive. We are anxiously awaiting August 15, when our halls will fill with voices, smiles and excitement for the new school year. In the meantime, the staff and faculty of SFCS continue to work diligently in preparation for that first day. Look for some new faces on staff at SFCS this year. We are delighted to welcome Jan Samuelson as a 1st Grade teacher, Jane Sowles who will teach 4th Grade, Nancy Moseley as a new 5th Grade teacher and Patti Wailes who will assist in PK4.

Our Lower School chapel will focus around the theme Growing in the Likeness of Christ. There are many facets that can be illuminated in chapel to reflect the beautiful character of Christ. Your prayers and partnership are coveted as we guide our students to know Him more.

“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflecting he Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18.

Summer at Shannon has concluded with a delightful Beach Party. Thank you to all who were able to attend, making it a very special day for these young people. The rain did not dampen any spirits as we enjoyed a hotdog lunch, some entertainment for our summer campers and a lively game of beach volleyball inside the Gym. A great big thank you goes to the staff who lovingly worked with students this summer. Kathy Neely Lower School Administrator
