On May 18th, the class of 2012 was presented by Principal Jim Berry for Florence Christian

School's 34th commencement services. Thirty-eight seniors walked the platform to receive their diploma, a personalized Bible, and a rose to give to their family in honor of this special celebration. Words of wisdom and sentiment were given to their classmates by co-valedictorians Trevor Gibson and Christopher Coker. Pastor Monroe encouraged and challenged the graduates to be faithful to what they have learned at FCS based on God's Word. Christopher Coker was presented the FCS EAGLE AWARD. This award is given to the senior who displays Christian character in all areas of his life. The exercises closed with Joshua Skelton leading the graduates in the turning of the tassels.

The morning of May 18th, another group of

graduates received their diplomas for their academic achievement of completing Kindergarten. Sixty-one young kindergarteners will begin a journey in their lives where they can look forward to learning new academics, building relationships, athletics, fine arts, chapels, and learning to serve others by using their God-given talents and skills.

Prior to receiving their diplomas, the 5K classes presented a program that gave family and friends a glimpse of what the students learned during the year. It was a full house in the gym!

"Celebrating 40 Years"

As the final days of school wound down, I found in speaking to many parents, faculty and students...that many agreed this year had come and gone rather quickly. It never ceases to amaze me in looking back to see how God continues to bless Florence Christian School. We do not take God's blessings for granted as He continues to keep his hand upon us even in these difficult times we are living in. On May 18th, FCS graduated 61 kindergartners and another 36 seniors. Below you will see many of the accomplishments and activities of our students and how God has used them in not only academic achievements but in service to their school and community.

Dr. Bryan Smith of Bob Jones University spoke at the Florence Baptist Temple recently. He challenged the FCS students by saying "the best thing you can do for your school is to go and live a Christ-like life". Our students of all ages have the opportunity to impact the world for Christ as they grow and develop both academically and spiritually...that is my prayer as we look forward to another year in the fall. May you and your family have a safe summer!

Spring/Summer 2012

The FCS student government was awarded Student Council of the Year (Division 1) for

the second consecutive year at the annual SCISA Student Association Convention which was held March 5-6th in Myrtle Beach. Seniors Chris Coker, Alyssa Holbrooks, and Seth Harrelson led the convention as their final duties serving on the state SCISA board of officers.

Twenty-seven SCSIA schools participated in convention. The two day event included a variety of activities, candidate elections and the installations of new officers for the 2012-13 school year. The FCS officers who attended the convention included: Chris Coker, Seth Harrelson, Alyssa Holbrooks, Kayla Thompson, Emily Ham, Elizabeth Chard, Austin Johnson, Moriah Berry, Hanna Adams, Kayce Erwin, James McClary, Gordon Washington, Hudson Jepertinger, Caroline McAlister, Danielle Evans, David Coker, Garrett Coker, Brooke Haywood, and Kacey Medlin.

President and founder of the organization Reasons for Hope (rforh), Dr. Carl Kerby spoke to the 6th-12th grade students and a number of guests on February 20-22. Kerby was a founding Board Member of Answers in Genesis, the organization who originated the Creation Museum that is located in northern Kentucky. Kerby served 15 years with AiG before stepping out in faith to become the president and founder of Reasons for Hope. Kerby's passion is to proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible and to engage minds and hearts of believers and unbelievers in today's culture of the

realities of the Word of God. Kerby visited various

classes for a time of Q & A where he challenged their thinking in defending their faith.

FCS sponsor Michelle Johnson has worked with the students throughout the year in planning class and school wide events. She stated, "it is always a pleasure to accompany our students to various events...they have proudly represented our school."

On April 30th students in 1st-12th grades

assembled in the gym to watch 22 girls, a young boy, teens and moms have a minimum of 8 inches of their hair cut.. A total of 241 inches of hair was cut and donated to Children with Hair Loss, a national organization that provides wigs for children.

Third grade teacher Jackie Smith shared from her heart the reality of losing one's hair from her personal experience in 2008 when she was treated for cancer.

FCS mom and cosmetologist Barbi Lee organized a team of 17 local cosmetologists who volunteered their time and talent to cut and style the participants' hair. The project was sponsored by the Student Government. We hope to do this event again next year!

Mrs. McAlister assigned her 11th grade English class to write on what makes a good speaker. All but one student wrote about Dr. Kerby. Below are a few comments:

Dr. Carl Kerby is an excellent speaker in his presentation and testimony for Christ and the truth of God's Word.

Dr. Kerby spoke to the teens, not at us....on a level of understanding. His messages were also convicting!

He really opened my eyes to a lot of different issues.

Please keep collecting over the summer!

Over 400 students from 68

schools across the state of SC auditioned for the SC Elementary Honor Choir. A panel of judges selected 220 students, including two of our FCS students, Erin Dozier and Emilee Cox. They practiced after school one day a week for four

months to prepare six songs for the concert held in Charleston on Saturday, February 4th.

The guest conductor, Tom Shelton, of Greensboro, NC, is recognized for his accomplishments as a children's choral director, clinician, and composer. The audience, made up of parents and friends and SC music teachers, gave the students a standing ovation at the conclusion of the concert.

Florence Christian School participated in the SCISA Music Festival, Thursday, March 8th at the University of South Carolina School of Music in Columbia. The 130 FCS musicians were among hundreds of students statewide that performed in the annual state festival. FCS participants included: the Elementary String Ensemble, Elementary Choir, Middle School Girls' Ensemble, and High School Choir. These groups all received an excellent rating.

Solo Medalists: GOLD--Emilee Cox, Amber Davis, Melinda Dersch, Stephanie Dersch, Danielle Evans, CJ Fuller, Teil Fuller, Georgeanna Kelley, Abigail Sansbury, Frankie Slemmer, Evan Tan, and Isaac Whang. SILVER--Janalyn Berry, Kristin Bryant, Savannah Gaymon, Tori Hewitt, Rebecca Kelley, Bethany McArthur, Hannah McInnes, Morgan Warner. BRONZE--Abby Buie, Sarah Medlin, and Maegan Miles.

FCS Music instructor Leslie Evans stated, "We are very proud of our students who participated; we congratulate them for a job well done!"

A cast of more than forty-two students performed the timeless classic The King and I in front of two sold out audiences, March 22-23. Rehearsal began in January where the

cast worked numerous hours in preparing the production.

The large cast consisted of students from age 5 to 17 and was led by two seniors, Rachel King (Anna) and Elizabeth Chard (wife). In addition to the performers, a number of students assisted with behind the scenes tasks including ticket sales, concessions, lighting and sound. The junior and senior high school drama classes were involved as well. The play was under the direction of Katrina King with assistance from Megan Kendall and Leslie Evans.
