Due to the high winds affecting our area tomorrow, in addition to the threat of tornadoes and hail, campuses will be closed tomorrow, March 5th. Afterschool activities have been cancelled as well. We pray everyone remains safe during the inclement weather, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on campus Thursday, March 6th.

Today Mrs. K's 4th grade students learned about “Fat Tuesday," Mardi Gras, and discussed the Lenten season. They celebrated by eating some King Cake and some lucky students found the baby!

Mrs. Fuller’s 4k class has been talking about healthy foods this week. They read several versions of the folktale “Stone Soup” and were chefs today as they made their version of Stone Soup. “Bring what you’ve got, we’ll put it in the pot. It’s Stone Soup!”

WE DID IT! 🎉 We not only reached our fundraising goal, we surpassed it with over $36,000!

We held our annual Board of Visitors Luncheon this afternoon, and it was a wonderful time sharing all of the great things happening at First Baptist School.

Our 1st graders presented during lunch with reciting Matthew 5:14-16 and sang This Little Light of Mine. In this passage, Jesus tells His followers to be the light of the world and to let their light shine. We intend to share Gods light with others by following his way, being kind and listening to God.

We’re grateful for all of our BOV members who play a vital role in helping us shape the future of our school and students!
