SFCS Junior Attends
Leadership Forum In
Washington, D.C.
ALL SCHOOL NEWS
Friday, November 5, 2004
SFCS junior,
Caroline Hopkins
recently
participated in the
National Youth
Leadership Forum
on Law (NYLF/
LAW) Held in
October in
Washington, D.C. Having
demonstrated academic achievement
and an interest in the legal profession,
Hopkins joined approximately 350
outstanding High School juniors and
seniors from across the United States
at the Forum on Law. The
curriculum for NYLF/LAW was
based on actual events, allowing
participants to learn from examples
set by attorney of law and court
officials from municipal court to the
U.S. Supreme Court. Hopkins had
the opportunity to exercise the skills
used by Supreme Court justices who
rule on key issues facing our country
today. The program also includes
sessions with law professors from
some of our nation’s most prestigious law schools. The group also had
the opportunity to visit memorable sites that included the U.S. Capitol,
the Supreme Court of the United States and the Library of Congress. Congratulations,
Caroline, on your leadership qualities and vision for the
future of our country.
SFCS Is Thankful for Spanish Teacher, Olga Whaley!
We have finally come to the end of our new SFCS teacher
profiles and our final teacher, new to SFCS in the

spotlight! Olga Whaley has taught elementary Spanish

for ten years, at SFCS as a substitute and as a SFCS
elementary teacher during the 2003-2004 school year.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Virginia Tech in
Blacksburg, Virginia. Her husband, Steve serves at
SFCS as Development Director. Whaley’s son, Heath
graduated from SFCS in 2004 and attends Erskine College.
Derek is a sophomore at SFCS and Andrew attends a special
education class at Hidden Treasure Christian School.
When not teaching Spanish, Whaley loves to garden,
can fresh fruit and vegetables, refinish furniture,
sew, swim and attend arts and craft shows. Welcome,
Olga…we’re glad you’re here!
