The Lion's Tale

The FCS elementary school had its Awards Day program Friday, May 29 at 9 a.m. Each grade (1-4) presented a song, a memory verse or selection, or something they had learned this year that they wanted to share with their parents and friends. Grade one sang the 27 books of the New Testament and "Amazing Grace." The second grade recited the 39 books of the Old Testament and Hebrews 11:1-6 and sang "Happiness Is ..." The third grade recited the 66 books of the Bible and Psalm 23, which they had studied intensively. Each of the fourth grade students told what they had learned this year and what they enjoyed the most. After each grade's performance, the teacher then gave to each student the 27, 39 or 66 Club Certificate, and awards for scholarship, honor roll, and a promotion certificate. After all grades had been presented, Angela Bouington presented awards for citizenship, perfect attendance, homework heroes, and Presidential Excellence. The Presidential Excellence award was given to students who had maintained an A average from grades one through four.

The upper classes had their Awards Day and Eighth Grade Graduation ceremonies at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
