Good news!

Listen up!

I'm excited to announce the 1st annual FCHS Soccer Alumni game will be held on Friday, May 2nd, at 4pm on the Faith Soccer Field. I would love to have all of you attend that can, even if you didn't play. Also, I need you to pass on the word to other Faith soccer players whose contact information I have not been able to get yet. Please pass the word on, AND please let me know whether or not you will be able to attend.
This will be a lot of fun, and a great way to renew old contacts and former teammates. So, please pass on the information to other FCHS players (even if they only played a year, or if they didn't graduate from Faith but played there at some point), and call me (910-797-8899) or email me (joelhawbaker@gmail.com) and let me know if you can make it!

For those of you that played and are wanting to play again next week (I've spoken with many of you already), all you will need is a pair of shorts and maybe some cleats (or even tennis shoes). Jerseys will be provided, as will a bit of a 'Thank you' from the soccer program.
 
For those of you that didn't play (or don't want to), we'd still love to have you come and enjoy a time of reunion with old classmates and friends. We're hoping to make this an annual event, and the bigger turnout we get this year, the better off it will be. There will be a $2 admission fee (except for alumni players), as we will be providing pizza for the varsity team and alumni players after the game (the gate money is going to pay for the pizza), and we're hoping to see a lot of you there!

Again, the more people we have, the better it will be for players and fans alike, so please make an effort to attend. Thanks!

DATE/TIME:
Friday, May 2, 4:00 pm


Sincerely,

For those of you at The University of Alabama, let me encourage you to come out to the Moody Performance Center on Friday at 1:15 p.m. to listen to the Faith Christian School Senior Choir perform.  We have been invited to perform before the AlabamaVocal Association Conference (AVA).

The kids from Faith keep in touch. Nora is Julie's apartment mate, Bethany lives in the same complex. Cliff Murphy is in the apart. below Julie & Nora. They are in contact w/ the Walker girls. They all seem to keep up  w/ each other. I think that is great too. Julz is supposed to graduate May 2007 and is already talking about her Masters. I believe you have many success stories from Faith.  Keep up the good work.

Molly Couch
Class of 2002

Hello Alumni,

 

If you are around town on Monday and need something to do then come on down and help us move some classrooms.  See memo to teachers below.   

DR.C

 Hello Faculty and School Board Members, 

The day has arrived!  It is hand trucks and jeans day! We are ready to move; the floors are being done Wednesday and Thursday of this week; the school is closed on Friday;  Monday will be moving day beginning at 8:00 a.m.  We believe that it will take most of the day to move everything; we want to go slowly and avoid knocking around on the walls and avoid breaking things.  We need men and we need adults and upper high school youth.  We need to get a multitude of stuff in the right rooms.  There is some cleaning yet to be done in the new classrooms, so if you can’t move then you maybe could clean. 

Here are the teachers who are moving: This includes student desks, file cabinets, book cases, shelving units, microwaves, refrigerators, teacher desks, instructional materials, stuff and stuff and stuff – you know how teachers are!

 Mrs. Fitzgerald (835-3770) moving to new building

Mrs. Holt (236-6358) moving to Mrs. Fitzgerald’s old classroom

Mrs. Pattie Wilkinson’s 4th grade stuff is to be moved to back of Mrs. Holt’s old classroom for storage

Mrs. Huie (236-0473)  moving to new building

Mrs. Thacker (235-0257) moving to Mrs. Huie’s old classroom – she will be bringing her stuff in…

Mrs. Sills (236-8872) moving to new building

Mrs. Camara (831-8034) moving to Mrs. Sills’ old classroom

Mrs. Martha Wilkinson (835-2114) moving to Mrs. Camara’s old classroom

Mrs. Lauren Davis (240-7011) moving to Mrs. Wilkinson’s old classroom in gym

Mrs. Robinson (782-2953) moving to Mrs. Pattie Wilkinson’s old classroom

Mrs. Parris (237-6901) moving to new building (her stuff was stored in Mr. Hawbaker’s classroom)

Mrs. Robinson’s old classroom will become new computer room when furniture is purchased

Old Computer room will become teacher workroom – YEA! 

Any or all of these teachers could use some help.  I will have 4 or 5 paid men on site to help move but it will take much more than that – we need 20-25 people to make this happen.  Bring hand trucks from home if you have those; we have 4 here at school and we have some dollies which could be used. 

We also have the textbooks ready to be distributed to teacher classroom – Mrs. Bain is in charge of that.  Do not move a book without her permission!  We hope to get the textbooks moved Monday also so that teachers can put these away and make sure that everything that was needed has arrived. 

We have over 200 small cardboard boxes available from the textbooks which Coach Wilson unboxed for us.  These are available on a first come, first served basis for teachers to use in the moving process.  I know that some teachers still need to pack before they can move. 

We will order pizza for the helpers on Monday plus drinks and cookies………so come and work and fellowship…. 

If you can help, please call Mrs. Bain or Mrs. Weaver today or Wednesday or Thursday and we will assign you to a team. 

Thank you!

Ben Character, Headmaster
