Senior Retreat Yields Special Decisions
UPPER SCHOOL NEWS
Friday, September 17, 2004
The senior class of 2005 spent two days in early September
in Ridgehaven, North Carolina to finalize plans for
their final year at SFCS. “Out of all the retreats
that I have been on, this senior class retreat was
the best,” shared Kendell Sell. “The students
really put a lot of effort and thought into their decisions.” The
class chose two verses to represent their year: But
none of these things move me, neither count I my life
dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course
with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of
the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace
of God. -Acts 20:24
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole
duty of man. - Ecclesiastes 12:13 Our seniors also
chose, O For A Thousand Tonques, as their traditional
hymn. To personalize their graduation ceremony and
class day, the seniors will also sing songs that have
great meaning to their class: In Christ Alone Shout
to the Lord The class will also enjoy a trip to New
York City.

The 2004-2005 Key Club is once again spearheading
the Baby Bottle Fund-raising event to benefit the Piedmont
Women’s Center. During the month of September,
students in 4th through 12th Grades may deposit money
in the giant baby bottles labeled for each grade. The
bottles are located in the Upper School Cafeteria.
The bottles will be available for deposits every day
from the morning break until the end of the Upper School
lunch period. The grade that raises the most money
in their baby bottle will receive an ice cream party
to be held on Friday, October 1. All donations go to
the Piedmont Women’s Center to assist in purchasing
necessities such as diapers, bottles, Bibles and other
ministry tools to be used in helping women who have
had abortions, women thinking about an abortion or
women with children that need help and support. Help
save a life by supporting the Piedmont Women’s
Center. This event will end on Friday, September 24,
