School Yard Sale

Saturday, October 23rd

FCA's first yard sale this year was a huge success. Thank you to all who donated items and participated. We had so many donations that we are going to have another yard sale on Saturday, October 23rd. We need volunteers once again.

Funds raised go to improve our music department, aid with academic scholarships for our community, and help to offset the cost of our very active school with field trip fees.

Many have expressed they still want to donate items for the yard-sale. We are still accepting donations until our final storage pod is full.

If you want to rent a table and sell your own items, you may do so for $30 per table. Old Hickory Blvd. offers great exposure!

Praise Dance Classes
Now in Session
(Pre K- 12th Grade)

Praise His name with dancing...
Psalm 149:3


At FCA the goals of Praise Dancing are completely different from those of secular dancing. The focus of Praise Dance is not to entertain an audience, but to perform solely for God's glory and majesty. In order to participate, you do not have to fit into a certain age, size or ability group. You must be willing to dance for the purpose of praising God.

Please sign up at the front office. Classes are held on Thursday for 6th-12th grade students and Fridays for Pre-K-5th grade students from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm. The cost is $40 per month, which can be added to tuition bank draft or you may prepay in advance for the eight-month course. The dance instructor is Ms. Rebekah Gregory; you may contact her by e-mail at RebekahG@familychristianacademy.com.

PreK-5th grade class held every Friday from 3pm-4pm
6th-12th grade class held every Thursday from 3pm-4pm
