Daily Scripture

In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

FYI

FYI -



  • Don't forget Chick-Fil-A Night this coming Thursday 5:00 - 8:00 PM.  It is the one located near the Target/Kroger shopping center on Columbia Ave.  Don't cook that night and instead help us raise funds for the playground!  20% of the proceeds go to FCC MDO.  However, you MUST bring the flyer that we sent home.  If you need another, just ask!
  • Class pictures will be taken on Thursday.  Make-up pictures for those absent last week will be made up this Wednesday and Thursday.
  • We moved chapel this week to Wednesday and Thursday.  So we will have Spanish and Chapel instead of Music and Spanish just this week.  Ask your children to tell you the Fruit of the Spirit! (Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control); they know them!
  • Also, don't forget to get your Kroger Card ($5) and Chick-Fil-A calendar (twelve good coupons) for $6.  Just send note with money (cash or check to FCC) in your child's folder.
  • Looking ahead...Costume parade and Fall Parties will be October 25 and 26.  Have your child wear his/her costume to school that day.  Teachers will be sending/e-mailing details soon.

S.O.S.!

Missy Cook contacted me and there is another truck coming in on Sunday filled with pumpkins that need to be unloaded.  She is looking for volunteers anytime beginning at noon to help unload.  The pumpkin patch is located at the corner of Mallory Station and Cool Spring Boulevard (in front of Walgreens).  Any amount of help would be greatly appreciated!

PUMPKINS WITH A PURPOSE!

Come out and help out one of our MDO families by supporting their foundation.  The CooperTrooper Foundation supports families dealing with childhood cancer.  It was started by the Cooks whose son Cooper is in Ms. Betsy and Ms. Laurel's class.  Cooper is a cancer survivor, and the family is reaching out to help other families who are dealing with childhood cancer especially for those siblings who are sometimes overlooked.  You can find out more about their cause at www.coopertrooper.org.


They have a pumpkin patch this month at the corner of Mallory Station and Cool Springs Blvd (in front of the Walgreens).  There will be pumpkins for sale as well as children's activities.  All proceeds will benefit the CooperTrooper Foundation.


DATES:  October 8 - 31
TIMES:  Tuesday through Friday - 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
                Saturdays 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM (children's activities)
                Sundays 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM (children's activities)


The Cooks could also use some volunteer help!  If you would like to give a few hours to help unload pumpkins this coming Saturday, they promise to feed you!  The trucks will be arriving with thousands of pumpkins and they will need to be unloaded!  All help would be greatly appreciated!  If you are looking for ways to "give back" in this community, this would be a wonderful way.


And if you want to buy a pumpkin from Ms. Joni, come see me out there on Sunday from 4:00 - 7:00 PM.  I'll help you pick out a good one!

Enter from Hwy 96 only - then exit over the car bridge onto Clovercroft

FYI

Don't forget pictures tomorrow!  We plan to take them outside and will do so in the morning before and after chapel.


Don't forget to get your Kroger cards!  If you haven't gotten one yet, they are $5 worth $5 in the form of a gift card.  We receive a portion of all sales made.  Our goal is 130 cards with an average of $40 usage per month.  Should be fairly easy for us to do.  So far we have sold about 50 cards.  Please help us raise funds for the playground!  And a huge thank you to all of you who have already purchased!


There is a family who lives in the Trinity Elementary area who is interested in carpooling on Mondays and Wednesdays.  If you are interested in working something out, please e-mail at mdo@franklinchristianchurch.com and I can pass along the information.

FALL PICTURES THIS WEEK!

Don't forget fall pictures are this coming week!


Monday - All the Monday/Wednesday children
Tuesday - All Tuesday/Thursday children
Wednesday - Children who come only on Wednesday


Dress appropriately for the outdoors; we are going to try and use the trees and creek area for a picture.  Nursery pictures will be much simpler - just outside the doors.  If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me this weekend at mdo@franklinchristianchurch.com.


We managed a fire drill on Wednesday but didn't make it on Thursday, so we will reschedule that one for next Thursday, the 6th.  The one on Wednesday went pretty smoothly; we were out the doors in less than three minutes, but we can do better than that, so we will probably try again.  The children were great about it and followed directions which earned them some warm fuzzies.


What are warm fuzzies?  Ms. Maria, Kellie, Kely, Kassie or Joni can give out warm fuzzies (i.e. colored pom-poms) anytime they see good behavior, following directions, being polite or cooperating outside the classroom.  The warm fuzzies go in their class jar and will result in a class party of their choosing.  Someone told me that Toddler 2 has picked out a pig cake(?) for their party!  And no, not a "big" cake...a pig cake...with a pig...


HOPE EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THIS GORGEOUS WEATHER!
