We hope that all of the kids had a fun time at the Fall parties this week. Thank you for making them such a success!!

We collected a lot of fresh food for the Food Pantry and we want to say Thank you to each of you that donated! This will mean so much to the families that are able to receive them. 

We will be closed on Tuesday November 4th due to Election day and Williamson County being closed. 

SAVE THE DATE:
We will be having a Chick-Fil-A spirit night on November 20th at the Coolsprings location. A part of the proceeds spent that night will be given to Shining Light. Please put the date on your calendar, more details will be out soon. 

Food Pantry

FCC is hosting a Food Pantry this Saturday.  Shining Light is donating fresh food items.  Please consider taking a brown paper bag from the front foyer desk and filling it with some of the suggested items.

The classroom that collects the most wins a pizza party, but the best prize will be the families that are blessed with food this season!

Thank you for your generosity!

Shining Light has partnered with FCC to host a Food Pantry on Saturday, November 1st.  Our school will be unique in that we are asking for donations of FRESH FOOD.  Because of this, we will have to be very specific about when you bring your donations to Shining Light.

We will collect fresh items on only two days:

Wednesday, October 29

Thursday, October 30

OR

You may bring your items before 8:00 AM on 

Saturday, November 1st.

Fresh Items that we hope to collect:  all kinds of potatoes, onions, carrots, peppers, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, beans, apples, or oranges.

Shining Light will have a special table set up at the Food Pantry that day.  We are excited to be able to offer this to families in our community who need some help.  If you would like to volunteer that day, we would love to have you.  Just e-mail me and let me know that you would like to help serve. The class that collects the most bags of food will win a PIZZA PARTY!

Just a Reminder that Shining Light will be closed on Monday, October 13th for the WCS fall break. We will be open on Friday, October 17th as our make up day. 

Fall Parties

Our fall parties will be on October 29th and 30th. We will do a costume parade around the school. We would love to see the kids in their costumes as long as they are not scary. We will be collecting $1 from each child for mini pumpkins. Please have the money in by October 21st. 

Car Lane
Car lane is off to a great start and we appreciate your patience. Please remember to park in the parking lot off of 96 if you are walking your child in. This will make it a little easier and safer for those using car lane. 

Scholastic book orders are placed on the 15th and 30th of each month. Remember that when you buy books your child's classroom gets free books too. Our school code is GPTH7 and the orders are shipped to our school.

Bridge Construction

• Franklin Christian will be beginning construction on a new bridge that connect the larger parking lot to the small one adjacent to the entrance to the preschool. 
• We have been told that this construction will begin on Monday. 
• During construction, you will only be able to access and exit the small parking lot via Hwy 96.  In the mornings, this can be difficult.  If you choose to park in the larger parking lot, you can use the pedestrian bridge to enter the building.  It is a further walk, but probably the safest option.
• Car lane begins the first week of October.  All parents are encouraged to take advantage of this service.  The traffic flow is outlined on the flyer in your child's folder.
• If you have any questions, please feel free to discuss this with the teachers.
