FELLOWSHIP FUND UPDATE
Parent Participation = 77% (vs. 90%+ goal)  Cash Collected = $388,706 (vs. $600,000 goal)
If you have already contributed - Thank you!! If you have not contributed yet – We need your help! Once we reach 81% parent participation, the school will receive $1,000 from an anonymous donor for every percentage point after that!

Where does the money go? The six components to this year’s fund are  Campus Security, Spiritual Development, Technology Tools for Teachers, Fine Arts, Auxiliary Practice Field, and Master Plan & Design. 
We plan to complete projects in each of these areas this school year, as the remaining funds are made available. Thank you in advance for helping us reach our goal! Each gift, regardless of the size, will help these projects to be completed.  

Specific projects in two of the six areas on which work has begun:
Campus Security – Install new and upgrade existing security equipment on both campuses (cameras, magnetic door locks, etc.); partner with Fellowship Bible Church to install magnetic door locks, intercom system and security camera at the church entrance; install more outdoor safety lighting throughout campus and parking lots.

Spiritual Development – Fund Winterfest, our two-day school-wide spiritual development program in January; contribute funds to complete construction of a mission church in the Dominican Republic.
