The FLEC Flyer | March 12, 2010 | Week 30 POWERED BY I/OTRAK

The FLEC Flyer | March 12, 2010 | Week 30 Message from the Principal . . . Dear Parents, Welcome back! I trust that you enjoyed spending time with your precious children during the break. I pray daily asking God to pour out a special blessing upon each of you. It is with joy that I remind you that next week, March 15 – 19, 2010, is our Spring Week of Prayer. Pastor Willie Ramos will be our speaker for the week. I encourage each of you to attend this exceptional event with your children. I know that God’s Spirit will be at work during this special week. The Southern Union Board of Education will be meeting at the Conference Office in Decatur, Georgia on Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I will be attending this meeting to receive the Southern Union “EDGE School of Excellence” award for FLEC. What a privilege to represent our school in accepting this award. In closing, in my worship this morning, I came across this powerful verse as I was reading the book of Numbers. Just to set the stage: God and Moses are in a dialog regarding the Israelites, their grumbling and Moses’ frustration in leading His people. As the Lord reasons with Moses He asks, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?” (Numbers 11:23) Wow, that verse really touched me as I reflected on all that is ahead for me as a colleague, mother, wife, friend and student. What a powerful thought that God’s arms are not too short for me! While I don’t know what burden you are carrying or what is heavy on your heart today, I wanted to share the same assurance that God is there for you. Always remember that God’s arms are never too short for you. He loves you and will join you in your life’s journey and challenges. So why not trust Him with every detail of your life? Have a great weekend! I solicit your prayers for clarity and perseverance as I prayerfully attempt to complete this degree. In His Service, Janet Ledesma

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carolyn Anderson, FLEC Registrar. Friday March 19th is the last day for the $25 application fee. ACADEMIC RECOGNITION The greatest difference between our SDA Christian School and other public school is much more than what we do. It is who we know. Our schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principles and system are based on a Man. That man, Jesus, has a lot to say about doing our best. He tells us that whatever our hands find to do, to do it with all our might (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Many of our young people are following this directive by coming to school and doing their best. We want to acknowledge these students and to congratulate them for working hard during the second quarter. 3rd Grade Principal's List (All A's) Honor Roll (A's and B's) Bruining, Anna Bryant, Natalie Fandino, Seth Jimenez, Jaynie Mastrapa, Elysse Metcalfe, Madison Morgan, Madison Nieves, Armando Osano, Kevin Paradis, Jessica Shewalter, Lindsay

PRIVATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE: Step Up For Students is an initiative of the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarship Program. The innovative program provides K-12 education scholarships for qualifying students that are entering kindergarten or first grade or have attended public school the previous year. The scholarships give qualifying parents the opportunity to choose the K-12 school that best meets their children's needs. The scholarships cover up to $3,950 for private school tuition and books or up to $500 in transportation costs to an out-of-district public school. FLEC accepts this scholarship. Applications are now being accepted at https://www.stepupforstudents.org. If you have questions, please free to contact the Business Office at 407-862-7688. CIVIC REMINDER The Census has arrived! Please remember to fill out the survey and return it. We all must be counted so our community can receive the appropriate funding for roads, parks, schools, etc... In addition, if you return the survey, you will not get a visit from the Census workers. 7th GRADE LATIN AMERICAN MARKETPLACE Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010 Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m. Place: FLEC gymnasium Come and learn about our Latin American neighbors to the south! Student groups will give you a “taste” of the cultures of 15 different countries to celebrate their most recent unit of study. MATH CLUB UPDATE A while ago, some students were invited to be part of a math club based on their math grades. The invitation was extended to students from grades 3 – 8. While a few students from the different grades responded, only 4th grade had enough students and parent helpers to form a club. We moved on with the 4th grade club and the volunteers and students are having a fantastic time! We do thank the children from the other grades who responded and we regret that they couldn’t be part of the club this year. It is our hope that we would have more interest and volunteers to include other grades next year. We will inform you of our math club plan during the next school year. FOOD ALLERGIES On behalf of our students with food allergies, we are requesting that if you are hosting, sponsoring a party or sending food to school that you label foods that contain nuts, peanut oil or peanut butter. As a school family, we have put controls in place to continue to make FLEC a safe place for all our students. HELP OUR TEACHERS! Many classrooms are being disrupted between 2:45-3:00 p.m. and we need your help. It is our desire for teachers to utilize class time effectively and would like to request that disruptions be kept to a minimum. Also, if you would like to see a teacher we ask that you wait

until after dismissal, call or e-mail for an appointment. The FLEC Receptionist is happy to deliver messages, lunches, books and papers to your child. Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter. DISMISSAL Remember school is out at 3:15 pm. Please note that it is disruptive to learning when parents come to the classroom door at 2:50 or 3:00 to get their child. Please be patient and wait till the class is dismissed, you can meet your child as the class leaves the classroom. Thank you for understanding and helping the teachers utilize those last minutes of the day. Choose a Lane - Please remember to be extremely careful and patient when driving on campus. As you turn into the school drive please use the right lane if you are picking up from behind the school (5th through 8th grader riders) and the left lane if you are picking up children in front of the school (Pre-K through 4th grade and multi-grade riders). Remember to be considerate; yield to your neighbor and practice patience. Safety is our number one concern. Rain Dismissal – We continue to tweak our rain dismissal procedure. Our goal is to safely complete dismissal in 30 minutes or less from when the dismissal bell rings. Be assured that your child will not be sent to Aftercare as long as there are still cars in line to pick-up. PLEASE REFER TO PREVIOUS WEEKS FOR INFORMATION ON OUR H1N1 PROTOCOL AND FLU. CELL PHONES The FLEC Handbook states: “Cell phones must be powered off during school hours: 7:50 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Monday – Thursday, and 7:50 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Fridays. They must not be visible during class, in the halls, or anywhere on campus during school hours.” There will now be a $25.00 fine for any cell phone visible during the school day. Students can use school phones with teacher’s permission and parents may leave messages with the front office if they need to reach their student.

DEVELOPMENT REPORT Grant Proposals being considered. This month, we are applying for two different grants to benefit the FLEC Building Campaign. The first is through PSI, Philanthropic Services for Institutions, a department of the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The second is through the Archie Tonge Education Fund, based in N. California. PSI accepts grant applications from Adventist schools to help sponsor the development of their fundraising capabilities. This sponsorship includes training of the board and staff to better understand the fundraising process, as well as regular communication between the school and PSI fundraising experts over the course of the grant. Funding can be up to $40,000. The Tonge Fund was established by an Adventist physician who had a burden for encouraging scholarship and innovation in Adventist school. This Foundation has giving significant grants to FLEC in the past and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful that we will receive grant monies again for our new classroom building. Please help us with two things: pray that our grant applications will be well written and convincing, and share with us any connection you may have with any foundations or other granting organizations. We can do this project if we work together! Remember, if you want to begin supporting FLEC in a more specific way than you have before, either time, or gifts, give me a call: Dan Tilstra, 269-208-1111 or email tilstrart@gmail.com. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always ready to talk.
