| Al Andrews |
You are invited to attend either of these chapels to hear author and philanthropist, Al Andrews. Being inspired by Bob Goff, Mr. Andrews wrote a children's book with the intention of 100% of the proceeds being donated to charity. His project is now called Restore Scholarship Project and provides college scholarships to recent graduates of Restore Academy in Uganda, which was founded by Bob Goff.
Check out the story at www.improbablephilanthropy.com. The FCS family is locking arms with Improbable Philanthropy and the students of Restore Academy by purchasing copies of Al's book, The Boy, the Kite, and the Wind. For each 50 books sold, one student will receive a scholarship toward his or her first year at school. Your children will be bringing an order form home and you may purchase online as well. All parents are invited and encouraged to attend this chapel.

ALUMNI NEWS
ALUMNI NEWS
Fellowship Magazine is looking for FCS Alumni News. Where are they now and what have they done since graduating from FCS? College graduation, degrees earned, changes in residence, job status or movement, promotions, awards, marriages, births, reunions or classmate get-togethers are all news worth noting. Send digital high res photos and information to melinda.williamson@fcspaladins.org.
FELLOWSHIP FUND
We have collected $378,123 toward our $600,000 Fellowship Fund goal. Thank you to everyone who has given so far. Reaching our $600,000 goal helps the school reach six board approved initiatives: Teaching Technology Tools, Spiritual Development Programs, Auxiliary Field Improvements, Fine Arts, Campus Security, and Master Plan and Design.
Parent participation is equally important. Two gift match opportunities are available. Parents that make a new gift (not a payment toward an existing pledge) can have their gift matched. Thanks to an anonymous donor, the next $30,000 in new gifts will be matched. Another anonymous gift match encourages parents to exceed last year's 81% participation total by giving $1000 for each percentage point from 82 to100 percent. Each gift is important, regardless of the size.
