GEORGIA GOAL
As a GOAL Participating School, FCS is eligible to promote the GOAL program to donors for designating their contributions to GOAL for use to provide scholarships at our school. This enables us to increase the amount of financial aid for which FCS students and families are eligible. This can help to increase enrollment, tuition income and opportunities for deserving students and their families. Please check the information on the FCS website to designate your state taxes to Georgia Goal and FCS. It may soon be possible for S Corporations, LLCs and Partnerships to contribute up to $10,000 to Georgia Goal. Information about this new opportunity to support FCS will be posted soon.

FELLOWSHIP FUND UPDATE

Almost to our goal of 90% PP!

(Goal: $600,000)

Congratulations to Mrs. Morgan's 4th grade class! Below is a recap of our parent participation by class and grade. Thank you to every family represented in these classes.




Your gift is VERY important. Our goal is 100% parent participation in all three divisions and $600,000.  Thank you to the Fellowship families who have donated and are fulfilling their pledge! Our 2012-2013 Fellowship Fund runs through June 30 so there is still time to make a donation. If you have not contributed yet, we need your help today to reach our goal. Click for more details or to make an on-line donation.

Having surpassed 80% parent participation, an anonymous donor is donating $1,000 for every additional percentage point above 80%! Your generosity will move us toward and above our financial goal.
