The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) designated April 12-16 as the "Week of the Young Child." Our theme this year was "Eric Carle Story Books." At First Baptist Church School, we enjoyed exciting activities that each of the preschool teachers planned for the children. The celebration included: Move with Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday, and Family Fun Friday. We had so much fun!! #weloveFBCS

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!!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Mrs. Flint's Kindergarten class has a special Christmas message for you.

Today, the FBCS middle school rolled out the red carpet for our 5th graders. All FBCS 5th graders went on personal tours and heard about all things middle school. They got to see classrooms in action, hear about extra-curricular activities, and so much more. We can't wait to have you in the FBCS middle school next year!

Our FBCS students and families have been hard at work putting together Samaritan's Purse Christmas shoeboxes. In total, we will be donating 481 shoeboxes. Thank you FBCS students and families for your giving spirit!

Please join First Baptist Church as we celebrate Veterans Day.

Due to COVID-19, we are not able to put on a Veterans Day program this year. Instead, please join us in this rebroadcast of last year's program, featuring members of our Sanctuary Choir, FBC School Children's Choir, and the orchestra. Happy Veterans Day to all of our veterans!

There has been a scarecrow sighting on the campus at First Baptist Church School. We sure have some cute scarecrows!

Our students enjoyed having "Hats on Day" combined with a "Spirit Day" a few weeks ago.

The FBCS second graders have been learning all about animals and their adaptations. They conducted a fun experiment to figure out why arctic animals do not freeze in their natural habitat.
