Yesterday was the fourth annual AR water gun battle between our headmaster, elementary coordinator, children’s minister and those students who tripled their personal reading goal for the fourth nine weeks. We work hard...but we play hard too!

It was a great day for our 4th grade Living Museum. Our students portrayed everyone from Bono to Lucille Ball.

Mrs. Flint's "Busy Bears" filled their marble jar and went on a walking field trip to see the church organ and its "secret" room.

Another successful “book talk” by one of our fourth graders! Sam brought his motorcycle to school as his artifact to represent a recent book he read. It’s exciting when students get excited about a new book!

FBCS is excited to announce that we have adopted TYNKER, a computer coding program! We had a special day yesterday to officially launch the program and get everyone involved. While students had time to practice coding, they also spent plenty of time “unplugged” learning new vocabulary and writing algorithms. We are excited about incorporating TYNKER into our curriculum.

Own a piece of the FBCS past...and pave the way to the FBCS future.
