Track your Operation Christmas Child box to its location. This can be done by donating online and printing off the special shoebox label included in your email receipt. Please Note: The unique barcode on the label is scanned during the shipment process. Covering it with tape or damaging it could affect scanning. Visit Online Giving and Tracking for more details.
Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.
Please join us as we make a difference in the lives of children around the world! Operation Christmas Child brochures were distributed to the ES last Friday. MS/HS brochures were distributed in Bible classes this week! The brochures provide packing details and boy/girl labels. Pack as many shoeboxes as you like. Ask family, neighbors and friends to join in the fun and pack some boxes, too! According to Carol Smith, OCC Atlanta Area Coordinator, Fellowship is the largest contributing school in the Atlanta area.
Shoebox Blessings:
1. Spreading the Gospel – lives changed for eternity
2. Giving a gift of love to the least of these
3. Family time shopping and packing the boxes

DID YOU KNOW parent volunteers are calling FCS families throughout the month of November to answer questions about the 2013-2014 Fellowship Fund and reaching our goal of over 90% parent participation? Look for a pledge form and more details in the Fellowship Magazine which was mailed last week. Please show your support for our school and its mission by turning in your pledge form or donating online today. God is clearly showing His favor on Fellowship Christian School, and donating to our annual Fellowship Fund is one of many ways you can support the great work He is doing here.
Did you know the first grade in each division (Elementary, Middle and High) to achieve 100% parent participation in the this year's Fellowship Fund will receive dress down passes and will have their grade's photo featured in a future Fellowship publication?
Did you know Fellowship donors will be recognized this year for leadership giving? Leadership giving levels and the associated recognition for each level can be found on the FCS website. ALL gifts are greatly appreciated; no gift is too large or too small.

Students are expected to be in school for the entire day on the day preceding and following an official school holiday. If extraordinary circumstances require such an absence, parents must submit a written request to the office at least seven days prior to the date in question (msattendance@fcspaladins.org). Pre-approved absences are granted only in exceptional circumstances.”

For those who participate, the Middle School Bible class that donates the most boxes will be taken off campus for lunch (dessert provided by Mrs. McDonald).
