Green and Growing Campaign for FCS
The gifts we have received make us truly grateful...for the generosity and spirit of the FCS community! We have raised $110,000 toward the Green and Growing Campaign since November, worth $220,000 to FCS. Altogether, our community has generated $950,000 to date! Fantastic!
To meet our space needs, we must raise funds quickly. A fast campaign makes for a fundraising challenge, but makes for fast benefits too. So this is the time to pledge to your fullest financial ability - your fair share -- and be counted! Give a little every month, give all at one time, give just during this calendar year or next too - there is a way for everyone to give. With the matching funds, your gift doubles in value to FCS.
If every family pledged $2,500, we could fund the rest of the project cost outright and get a long way toward outfitting the art studio, the science lab, and the stage. By pledging now, at whatever level of gift, you create greater certainty that we will proceed in June. Please don't wait! Your gift really matters!
Read the Green and Growing page for a description of the project, a pledge form, FAQs, and gift illustrations.
Thank you very much!

"Thirty five FCS students in grades 3-6 performed on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in the 20th annual College Park Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, which featured local community choirs, dancers and musicians of all ages.
Emceed by Mayor Andrew Fellows, the program included words of inspiration, music and arts performances, and art displays by local schools, all focusing on this year's theme: "Pursuing the Dream." Music teacher Stacy Leard led the group in singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and "We Shall Overcome", and Art teacher Donna Jonte displayed artwork by FCS students on themes of peace and equality for all."
