❄️ School Closure Notice ❄️

Frederick Douglass Christian School will remain CLOSED on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as we continue to prioritize the safety of our students and staff following the recent winter storm.

Please stay safe, keep warm, and enjoy this extra time with your families.

Tomorrow, we honor the life, legacy, and enduring impact of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A servant leader who courageously stood for justice, equality, and love for all.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Scripture reminds us of this same calling:

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 NKJV

As we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of service and faith in action, we encourage our students and families to take time tomorrow to serve, reflect, and lead with love.

📌 Reminder: Frederick Douglass Christian School will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 19, 2026, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Together, we honor his dream by living it through faith, service, and unity!

Thank you for believing in our students! Our students, staff, and leadership extend our heartfelt gratitude to every supporter who sowed into our mission on Giving Tuesday!

Because of you, we can continue providing a Christ-centered education that nurtures excellence, character, and faith. Your giving makes a real and lasting impact, and we are truly grateful.

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16 NIV

From the FDCS family to yours—thank you for giving, thank you for caring, and thank you for standing with us. ♥️📚

Together, we are shaping tomorrow’s leaders!
