From Mr. Parkinson

We have now entered the final nine week period of the school year 2011-12. Before we know it, graduation will be here. It is always sad to see a group of students leaving F.C. Boyd Christian School and going out into the world. However, we would never want to hold them back. It is a part of the cycle of life. We are so thankful to our seniors and their parents who have supported BCS over the years and hope they will continue to give their support. We wish the best for our seniors and hope they will always remember and exemplify the Christian principals they have learned from their parents as well as here at school.
Soon we will have another group of seniors, the class of 2013. We look forward to working with them as well as all of our students Pre K-12. I know that the staff will be one who will support the students as they carry on the proud traditions of F.C. Boyd Christian School.
I encourage all of our parents and students to talk up the school. Encourage others who might have an interest in attending BCS. Talk to people about the advantages of a Christian education. We need your involvement as we move toward the 2012-13 school year. We need the support of all our local churches. Many of you have done this over many years and we are so thankful for that support. My prayer is that all of our congregations of the Lord’s church would get involved. As individuals, please pray for the school and make donations to BCS, big or little, it all helps.
For the present, I need the help of our students and their parents in Pre K-11th grade. I don’t mean to sound redundant in my plea, but we really need to get an accurate number count for the next school year. Before a budget can be done, before supplies can be ordered, before staff can be hired, we have to know the number of our present students who are coming back to BCS next year. Please take time to fill out a registration form and return it to Mrs. Terry Stubblefield in the front office. If there is a problem, please let us know. I am sure we can work it out. Early registration ends March 30.
Continue to keep F.C. Boyd Christian School in your prayers.



Sincerely,
Weldon Parkinson, Principal
