FCA Homecoming Week – Wow! Community Abounds.

What a week. The life and community of a school can really separate it from all the other educational options that are available to families in this area. This past week however was a real landmark for our school. Our students and parents have really demonstrated what it means to be a school committed to the community part of education.

Spirit week was great at FCA. Our students really stepped into the swing of things with the fun of dressing up for the various days of the week. Their support of the athletic teams and school spirit was at an all-time high.

Our Falcon Parent Association (FPA, new this school year) really demonstrated servant leadership. Thanks to Alexius Young, Kimberly Cook and all of the parents involved in the events this week including the grade parent coffees that met with teachers and staff to discuss various grade level issues and support for their children’s education.

Thanks to the FCA Crew and Colyer Robison for their servant leadership in support of our athletic teams this week and the homecoming festivities! From football gate, concessions, field setup, to announcing, to color guard, to spirit crew, pre-game meal, singing, you name it – The Crew was there to serve and support.

Thanks to our fall athletic teams – Coach Drew Robison and his staff Billy Borre, and Shaka Hill for their leadership of our football teams. Coach Chatoria Kent and the Cross Country team beginning a new sport and tradition at FCA. 6:30 am practices and all. Coach LaToya Brownlow, parent Stephanie Blair and the Girls Volleyball team for your dedication and improvement in this season. Our student/athletes are learning great lessons. In the face of great adversity and success they are learning the character, integrity, discipline and brother and sisterhood that will serve them their entire lives.

This past Friday night at the pre-game tailgate event at Honey’s Vintage Sweets it was great to see FCA Alum return and catch-up with old friends. Thanks to owners Marianne and Greg DeMeyers for hosting our pre-game AND post-game events at their new store. Everyone had a great time! Honey’s donated 15% of the proceeds back to FCA! Thanks again to the FPA for helping put on this event.

Then Saturday night to close out the festivities we danced the evening away at the FCA Hoedown sponsored by the FPA and held at the Fellowship Bible Church barn. Nena Grosse and Lisa Starwalt spearheaded this new event for FCA and it was a boot scootin success. Ms. Chatoria Kent was our rocking DJ and students and parents alike had a blast kicking up our heals in celebration of what God has done in our school. What a delight to see little brothers and sisters, siblings, students, friends,  parents and grandparents enjoying a great fall evening of dance and music! Thanks to Bill Jorgenson for capturing all of this weeks events in pictures. What a gift! Check out all his FCA pics at http://www.jorgensen.biz

What a great week! Families enjoying the life of a school. We are so blessed with an amazing, growing, thriving school.

Go Falcons!
