You don’t want to miss SFCS’ annual event honoring grandparents and special friends! The festivities will take place on Friday, October 15, and will include a special program from our PK3 students. Students in 2nd through 5th Grades will also perform music selections including “Be Our Guest” and “Swinging on a Star.” A detailed brochure, outlining the day’s schedule, will be arriving soon via the Lower School, green Monday folders. All grandparents who are currently on file have already received a brochure inviting them to attend the event. Additional copies of the invitation are available in the Lower and Upper School Offices, the lobby of Shannon Forest Presbyterian Church and on the school website at www.shannonforest.com. Stay tuned for more information on this special day!


Calling All Chefs… AND Those Who LOVE Good Food!

The Crusader Cuisine Cookbook wants your favorite recipes! SFCS is putting together a cookbook of wonderful recipes to sell to friends, neighbors, co-workers and family. This book, filled with delicious meal ideas, appetizers, salads and more, will be ready just in time to send as a Christmas gift. All proceeds will benefit the 2005 summer mission trip to the Barrier Islands. A good cookbook needs great recipes, so send in as many entries as you would like! We’d also like to include photos or memories from past summer mission trips in the cookbook. To submit a recipe or recipes, just complete the form on page 7 of this newsletter. All recipe submission forms must be turned into Gina Powell in the Main School Office by Friday, October 15. If you have any questions, please contact Peg Smith at 292.6889 or on cell at 380.6798. You may also email Peg at beapeg@aol.com or you may call Angelika Hartmann at 675.9469 or on cell at 354.0348. Thank you in advance for your support!


In Loving Memory

Pictured from left to right: Marguerite Demarse, Joann Brugger and Lynette Stackhouse donated a beautiful stone bench in memory of former SFCS teacher Rose Van Someren.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of students, parents and faculty coming and going from the Main Office Building of Shannon Forest Christian School, one may not notice the beautiful, stone bench nestled under the shade of the trees. As lovely and peaceful as the woman whose memory it celebrates, the late Rose Van Someren, the bench is a wonderful addition to our campus. It was donated by Marguerite Demarse, Joann Brugger and Lynette Stackhouse, friends of Van Someren, who knew of her love for the school.

SFCS Welcomes Teresa Hoover!
