Fort Myers Christian School- September 15, 2022
Faithfulness
It is critical that we are sharing with our children the evidence of God's faithfulness, the stories of what He has brought us through. They need to know and believe that if He was faithful to their parents and grandparents, then He will most certainly be faithful to them.
Psalm 100:5
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

From Our Athletic Director
Elementary Athletics: Eaglet basketball registration will begin Monday, October 3rd and will close Monday, October 31st. The first day of Eaglet basketball will officially begin Thursday, November 3rd. Please be on the lookout for more information via e-mail & hard copies coming home with your K-4 student!
Middle School Athletics: Middle school girls and boys basketball sign-ups will begin Monday, October 3rd and will close Friday, October 21st. The first practice for both boys and girls basketball will be Monday, October 24th.
**We are currently looking for a middle school boys basketball coach. If you or anyone you know may be interested, please contact me at bgrannis@fmcs-fl.org.
Attention sports parents: We will have a new cell phone and iPad policy for sports this year. When students come over to the gym to change and for practice, they will be required to put their phones in the lock box located in the gym (as they do in the middle school building during school hours). Athletes will also be required to leave their book bags (iPads) in the gym before going into the locker room. This will prevent all cell phones and iPads from going into the locker rooms. There will also be no cell phones/iPads used on the way to games. Being that parents are required to drive their students/teammates, we are asking for your assistance with this. Please contact me with any questions (bgrannis@fmcs-fl.com).

Lunch Procedure
The Cafeteria Staff are so excited to welcome you back to FMCS. This year is going to be a great year. I know some students will be bringing their own lunches and others will take advantage of the meals we prepare daily in the cafeteria. We are requiring that all orders be placed by the night before. Our cafeteria staff want you to be aware that you must ORDER IN ADVANCE (the menu is available at least a month ahead in FACTS). Ordering ahead does not mean you are charged ahead - No meal is charged until after lunches are served. Should a student forget their lunch we do offer a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich or a Cheese Sandwich. Thanks so much for your assistance with this procedure and your support of our lunch program.
We are asking that all payments for lunch are made in FACTS instead of cash.

Please Be Aware: If you are unable to obtain the correct uniform due to insufficient vendor supplies by the start of school, please have your child wear a plain white, red or blue polo shirt. You may also purchase khaki pants and skorts (as long as they are knee length) from any store of your choice.
