Family Bowl-a-thon
Fundraiser
May 6th


Family Christian Academy is excited to present our 1st Bowl-a-thon! This is a family, fun event promoting health and fitness while raising funds for the school. The schools annual budget is supported through tuition, donations and fundraisers. Funds are needed to help with the general budget and improvements that need to be made for the next school year.  Each student will be provided with a sponsor form to take home. Students will need to ask family and friends to support their efforts. All funds raised will help support the school. We need your support and encourage everyone to get involved! Our goal is for each student to raise $150!

This event is for the whole family!!! Parents and younger siblings are invited and encouraged to be in attendance to bowl with their students and his/her classmates!
 
Prizes and incentives are being awarded to participants and classes for the highest bowling scores and funds raised.

Families raising $150+ in support will be awarded a 3-day, 2-night family hotel vacation certificate. We are also excited to be able to award a 7-day, 8-night family resort vacation certificate to participants raising over $250 in support.

Family and friends can make a flat donation or they can agree to pay a certain amount per game. Below are the bowling goals by class that each student plans to achieve.

Graduation 2011

Friday, June 10th

Keynote Speaker: Rob Shearer
Master of Ceremonies: Thor Carden

Making Memories Last a Lifetime!

For Kindergarten, 8th Grade & Seniors

FCA has had the distinct priviledge of offering its members an unforgettable graduation ceremony each year. Ceremonies are offered for the Kindergarten, Eighth-Grade and Senior classes. It’s a milestone and huge academic accomplishment that should be celebrated by going all out and that is just what we do at FCA. Past ceremonies have been held at Opryland Hotel, the Grand Ole Opry House and at Cornerstone Church in Madison, TN. Graduation 2011 will be held at Cornerstone Church in Madison, TN on Friday, June 10th.
 
Promotion Ceremony
The first ceremony is held for K-11th grade students. This early evening ceremony is the perfect opportunity for you to recognize your student(s) for their academic accomplishments. Special emphasis is placed on kindergarten and 8th-grade students, as they will be fitted in cap and gown and issued their diplomas. All other students will wear their church best and be presented with promotional certificates. We also offer special pricing for large families.

Senior Graduation
The second ceremony honors our graduating Seniors. This joyous evening will always be remembered as one of the highlights of your families’ and friends’ lives as they see the graduates recognized for their hard work and achievements. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend to support our Seniors!
 
Special Touches
The FCA Graduation ceremony has a lot of special touches that will make your students’ graduation very memorable. The ceremony is decorated to make an impression of elegance and celebration.
Parents are asked to submit up to four pictures of the graduate that will be placed into a movie format with background music. Pictures are arranged chronologically in order to show your student growing up on the big screen to be viewed by all your family and friends on graduation day. FCA also asks that each participant send in a personalized letter which is read as they walk across the stage to receive their diploma.
 
Please submit both page 1 and 2 of your graduation application before the February 1st deadline in order to receive the best price.

Achievement Testing?

Cornerstone Church
726 West Old Hickory Blvd.
Madison, TN 37115

Monday & Tuesday
April 25th & 26th



Students may come to their achievement test out of normal school dresscode with neat and modest attire. They will need to be dropped off at Cornerstone to take their achievement test and picked back up at 1:00pm. We will only be having a 1/2 day of school on testing days.  

EARLY ENROLLMENT DEADLINE


 
FCA is growing!!! Great news!!!! Enrollments for the 2011-2012 school year are up 18%!!! If you missed out on the early bird enrollment, don't fret because we still have a discount for you. From now through May 31st you can enroll and qualify for the value pricing. After May 31st standard enrollment fees apply. Don't miss out on these great savings. Prepay initial fees and save $50 off initial fees and save $25 off monthly tuition fees for the 2011/2012 school year.

It has been our great privilege to serve your family's academic needs. Our mission at FCA for over 20 years has been to teach students to love God, love others, and to be academically prepared as an expression of Christ to their generation and generations to come.

To enroll early, complete forms A-I (pages 45-53) of the student application and submit with your initial fees. Again, you’ll save $25 per student off the application fee along with a savings of $25 every month off your students’ tuition. That’s a total annual savings of $250 per student! In addition to these great savings, if you enroll before May 31st, you pay last year's tuition prices and your tuition rate will not increase! We are anticipating a $25 increase in monthly tuition for the full-time, five-day students.

Space is limited; we are only able to accept 12 students per class and we accept applications on a first-come, first-served basis. If you know FCA is the place for your child I would like to encourage you to enroll early and take advantage of the savings and you help FCA get a head start in planning and hiring to make 2011/2012 a great year!

FROM THE WORD

Philippians 4:8-9
 

8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
