The mission of Faith Christian School is to help parents\u00a0raise their children to live effectively in God’s world.\u00a0 This includes helping those in need who really want a Christian education.\u00a0 FCS is not about making “private education”\u00a0a status symbol.<\/em>\u00a0 Instead, FCS\u00a0strives\u00a0to glorify God by making excellent, Christ-centered, academic training and discipleship available, affordable, and highly valuable.\u00a0 Even though the choice of educational options is a personal family decision, some families would consider or stay with Christian education if they knew they could afford it.<\/p>\n

Enduring\u00a0Commitment\u00a0Plus\u00a0Some\u00a0New Programs<\/h2>\n

Indiana’s new Choice Scholarship program <\/a>and revised Scholarship Tax Credit program can help a certain number of qualifying families who transfer in from public schools.\u00a0\u00a0The Scholarship Tax Credit program can even help students starting in kindergarten.\u00a0 However, the need is still strong for families who are currently enrolled or who are not coming in from a public school.\u00a0 If we believe in Christian education, and we believe it would benefit even more students that simply need a helping hand to obtain it or keep it, then we will work and give toward that end.\u00a0For 15 years, FCS families, faculty, staff, and other committed supporters\u00a0have\u00a0done\u00a0just that\u00a0through\u00a0various fundraising events.\u00a0 One such\u00a0event kicked off on April 10, and that is our Eagle Fit program in the elementary.<\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0All About “Students Helping Students!”<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>During Eagle Fit, kindergarteners through 6th graders (with guidance from their parents) will ask for\u00a0tax-deductible donations from family members, family friends, fellow church members, neighbors, etc., so that they can help other students receive a quality Christian education at FCS.\u00a0 It’s that simple.\u00a0 This does take\u00a0them outside of their “comfort zone” sometimes, but so many of our students and families welcome the opportunity.\u00a0 Students actually benefit themselves by putting their own time, sweat, and prayers into helping\u00a0others and helping their school instead of “letting someone else do it.”\u00a0 The kids seem to get it–they know God has blessed them with\u00a0the privilege\u00a0of attending FCS, and they want others to have the same opportunity.\u00a0 In fact, they are willing to work hard at it for\u00a0four weeks straight in order to make that possible.\u00a0 What a picture of grace!<\/strong>\u00a0 Consider this for perspective–without Eagle Fit last year, a whole grade or class from our elementary would not be here this year.<\/p>\n

Fun Competition<\/h2>\n

As a way to say thank you and to keep the energy going, students can receive class prizes or individual prizes for their\u00a0efforts.\u00a0\u00a0These are awarded for things like the highest percentage class participation, the highest amount raised, and\u00a0classes meeting their goals.\u00a0 Individual prizes are awarded based on reaching certain goal levels as well as for exceptional efforts, attitudes, and ideas.<\/p>\n

The Eagle Fit event culminates in a morning run for the elementary and then the evening Eagle Fair and Eagle\u00a05K Run<\/a> on May 11.<\/strong>\u00a0 We would love to see you there.\u00a0 Please pray for us and encourage our elementary students as\u00a0they try to raise $28,000 to help students through Eagle Fit!<\/p>\n
