A message from FBCS 2021- 2022

The annual 4th Grade Living Museum was held Friday, May 14th. Each fourth grader chose a significant person in history to research. The students then composed a monologue telling about the person they were portraying.
On the day of the event, students arrived at school in costume and “posed” in front of the Sanctuary.
When museum visitors pressed the “button” on the students’ hands, the students came to life as
their character shared the monologue they prepared and memorized.

Congratulations to the FBCS Middle School golf team on winning the 2021 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! Way to go! Thanks to their Coach Mollie Catherine Blunt.

Students should continue to bring bottles of drinking water as they have throughout the year. We have plenty of bottled water on campus as well.

Do not send your children to school until further notice.

Monday is a day for teachers to plan and organize and communicate their plans for instruction to you. We will keep you informed this week if the situation changes.

We understand many of you may be in extenuating circumstances such as out of town or no internet/electricity, in this situation, please address this with your teacher individually.

Mrs. Flint's Kindergarten Busy Bears spent the first 100 days of school crossing out a piece of popcorn for each day. When the chart was completed, they celebrated with all things popcorn. They read popcorn books, counted out 100 popcorn kernels and 100 pieces of popped popcorn and weighed and made popcorn comparisons on a platform scale and on a balance scale. Of course, eating popcorn was a big part of the celebration. The Bears tasted eight different kinds of popcorn, chose their favorite then ate until they were 100% FULL!

Our preschoolers are having fun in STREAM enrichment. They are learning all about winter, snow, and ice. From creating a snowstorm in a jar to math activities, learning can be fun!

First Baptist Church School wishes you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We had 99 students that TRIPLED their AR points. Today, they were able to shop the AR Christmas Store and buy what they wanted with their tickets. Congratulations to all!!
