PARENT FIELD TRIP
Tuesday, October 29, 9:30-11:30 am, Dickerson Middle School, Marietta, GA, All parents are welcome to attend this Celebrate Calm Parenting seminar. There is no cost and no reservation is necessary. Meet us there or carpool from FCS. We will leave from the HS upper parking lot by the flagpole at 8:30 am. Life coach Kirk Martin is the speaker. "Families are crumbling under the stress, pace and demands of modern society. Our children are responding with disturbing behaviors—defiance, power struggles, bullying, anxiety, inattention, violent outbursts. Parents find themselves yelling more. Founder Kirk Martin will show you step-by-step how to stop these behaviors with practical, concrete, Scriptural strategies. We have zero interest in band-aids, tips and tricks. We will settle for nothing less than the complete transformation of parents and children. You will regain control of your home and classroom. Your children will be confident, respectful and responsible." For more information www.calmchristianparenting.com.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know our 2013-2014 Fellowship Fund annual fundraising campaign is currently underway with goals of raising $500,000 and having over 90% of our FCS families participate? Did you know 100% of our Board of Directors and 100% of our faculty/staff have already submitted their pledge of support to this year's fund? THANK YOU!
Come on, Parents! Let's show our appreciation to our wonderful faculty/staff and amazing administration by making your pledge or donation today. Within the last week, you should have received a letter in the mail, including a pledge form and donation envelope. Please mail you pledge form today or click here to make your donation online.
Because the funds are used in the year they are received, it is crucial to make your donation early. Our goal is to have all pledges submitted by December 6. Throughout November, parent volunteers will be calling those who have not yet donated or turned in pledge forms to answer any questions you may have about the fund and to encourage participation from all our parents. Thank you in advance for your support.
Monday, November 11. We will be honoring the veterans in our FCS family during a special Veterans Day Chapel.
