September 26, 2011
Thank you to all those who have purchased Foodland Plus Cards which are available in $25, $50, and $100 amounts. Please stop by the office to purchase these cards and Foodland will donate 10% of sales to BCS. We also have a new supply of Kroger cards which offer 4%.
In order to prepare for Applefest on October 8, the school will be conducting a Scavenger Hunt that is based on a point system. Soup labels, aluminum cans, soft drinks, cleaning supplies, yearbook ads, and new ink cartridges are only a few of the items on the list. Points range from 10 to 50,000 based on value of points! The collection dates are Monday, Oct. 5 and Thursday, Oct. 7. For more information, please see Mrs. Sonia Vandagriff, coordinator of this event.
On October 15, our local Junior Auxiliary of McMinnville will be hosting their annual “Coats for the Community”. These new or gently used coats provide cold weather wear and accessories to community members in need. Items needed are: coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, hats, scarves, and gloves from newborn to adults. Last year, there was a shortage of infant and child girl coats, so please remember this group too. Used items will need to be washed beforehand which allows the Junior Auxiliary more time to collect items.
To make this program successful, BCS Interact students have volunteered to collect the donated items from the classrooms. On Friday, September 30, please bring your items to your first period class and Interact members will do the rest. Every coat will be appreciated and placed in the hands of someone in need.
Response to the mum sale has been overwhelming! Thank you to Holly Hillis for spearheading this event and to Wade Whitmore and his parents for providing these beautiful mums! Sept. 30 will be the last turn in date if you want to pick up your mums at Applefest.

The $100.00 Pledge~
Boyd seeks pledges to help meet budget shortfall for the 2011-12 school year.
Boyd Christian School headmas-ter Weldon Parkinson, left, re-ceives a check from parent Jamie Stinson and his son Alex, 8, as part of the school’s “100 for $100 Pledge Drive” which is raising money to overcome a budget shortfall for the 2011-12 school year.
Like many private educational institutions, Boyd Christian School is suffering the effects o current economic conditions, even to the point the respected local Christian school will be unable to make its budget for this school year due to a drop in enrollment, according to headmaster Weldon Parkinson.
As a result, Parkinson has come up with a unique fundraising plan which will give Boyd supporters the chance to help the school overcome this financial challenge.
Parkinson explained the school’s need and how the fundraiser will work.
“We were about 30 students short of what our projected enrollment was going to be,” Parkinson said. “Because of that we’re going to be quite a bit short as far as our budget is con cerned. So we have a need to raise approximately $120,000.”
Faced with such a daunting fund-raising goal, Parkinson began to think of ways to spread out the burden among Boyd’s loyal sup-porters.
“I decided if we could get 100 indi-viduals to pledge that they would raise or give $100 per
month for 12 months, that would raise $120,000,” Parkinson said. “When you break it down like that, then that is a doable thing. It would be hard for an individual to raise that kind of money, but what we can do collectively as a school, as a patron’s organization, as individuals giving to the school, then I think it is a reacha-ble goal. We’re calling it the 100 for $100 Pledge Drive.”
“We are asking all of our parents and patrons, all of the people who have loved and supported and benefited from Boyd Christian School, to rise up to the challenge and overcome this hurdle,” Parkinson said.
Parkinson says he hopes local busi-nesses, organizations and individu-als will join in the pledge drive, but noted $100 per month is not re-quired.
“If you can’t do the $100, then give what you can,” Parkinson said. “Because we understand there are people who just can’t do that. This is where 10 people who can give $10 or more for a year can be one of the 100.”
Parkinson says he realizes some pledge participants may not want to divide the payments up and would rather make a $1,200 donation.
“We have already had people do that,” Parkinson said. “They’ve writ-ten out the check
for the whole amount at one time. That money has been collected, unlike the pledges which will be paid by the month. We have already re-ceived those donations and we’re at $15,650 right now I think.”
Parkinson says he is making the pledge himself, and feels it is im-portant to provide the option for a Christian-based education in the community.
“To me we are building the future leaders of the church here,” Parkin-son said. “We can tell story after story of graduates who are now serving as song leaders, as Bible teachers, even preaching in the pulpit.
“A Christian education, whether you preach or teach or things of that nature, is important to the communi-ty. You know, the Bible teaches us to love one another, and these stu-dents that come to Boyd are going out to the community and working with these clubs and organizations that give so much back to the com-munity, that are always doing ser-vice projects. They’re a part of that. I think Christian education is very important, it teaches us the im-portance of making God a part of our lives.”

The fair is over and a lot of people can now relax a little. I would like to thank each and everyone who worked, brought food, baked pies, and did countless additional things that made BCS Food Booth a success. I would like to name each of you but I know I would leave some of you out. It always amazes me at what we can accomplish when we work together. Individually, we can never have accomplished more than we can collectively. Working together for the good of others is the Christian way.
On several occasions over the past few weeks, we have had former students come in and tell us how much they miss being at Boyd Christian School. They tell stories of what a difference BCS made in their lives. I have asked several of them to write their feelings down so I can share them with others. I would like to ask any of you who would like to share your experiences with BCS, to write your comments about how the school has made a difference in your life, or the lives of your children or grandchildren. I think these stories can be a great selling point for encouraging others to attend BCS.
We are nearing the end of September, and soon Christmas and the end of the first semester will be here. We need those of you who have committed to the 100 for $100 a month for a year pledge drive, to fill out the cards and turn them into the office. Continue to ask others in the community, church, or friends and relatives outside the area to make a pledge. There is a poster in the front window next to the door that is charting the giving thus far. We want to blow the top off the thermometer!!! Let’s make this pledge drive as successful as we did with the fair. With us working together, we can accomplish this goal.
Weldon Parkinson, Headmaster
Reminder to Elementary Art students: Please bring an extra shirt for Art this week if you have not already. We will be constructing paper pumpkins and it will be quite messy!

The Grandparents Day Luncheon has been scheduled for Friday, Sept. 9th. If you have reserved a meal, please arrive at the time of your grandchild’s regular lunch period.
Students may be checked out by their grandparent immediately following lunch.
Attention Junior’s and Senior’s! It is very important to fill out the College Scholarship Form and return to Mrs. Deitra as soon as possible. These forms are available in Mrs. Corley’s room. Also, the A.C.T. will be given on Saturday, Sept. 10th at 8:00 in the cafeteria. If you have not signed up for this test, please make plans to sign up immediately for the test in October. Dates and deadlines are posted on the Guidance Office door.
On Saturday, Sept. 10th, BCS will be selling beautiful MUMS for $12 on the front lawn of Caney Fork Electric. These three gallon containers are 25 inches wide and 22 inches high. You may purchase these flowers between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Your support is always appreciated.
Dear Parents, Grandparents, Friends, Relatives,
Once again it is time for our biggest fundraiser of the fall semester. We are currently planning the Fair Food Booth. Thanks to the great efforts of our wonderful group of concerned parents we have been able to raise considerable funds each year to support the school through this fundraiser. This year will be no exception. Don’t forget that this year, like last year, the fair is 9 days long! This is a great opportunity to earn extra funds, but requires more effort on the part of the parents. Each parent is expected to serve one to two shifts, but we know many of you sign up for many shifts and some of you for every day of the week. For that we are very grateful!!!
Attached is a schedule of work shifts. If you have already signed up, THANK YOU! If you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet, please sign up for one of the yellow or red hi-lighted shifts (blue shifts are for students only). The red shifts indicate shifts that are critical to running the booth smoothly. If these shifts aren’t filled, we will run the danger of closing for that day.
When signing up, please include your phone number so we can call & remind you. Please note that we will NOT be open on Sunday or Wednesday. Please return the schedules to your child’s teacher or to Mrs. Stubblefield or come by the front office and sign the sheet. If you received the schedule via email, you can return it via email.
Thanks!

From Mr. Parkinson's Desk:
In Luke 2:52 we read, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” This is the mission of Boyd Christian School in working with our students. We want them to grow like Jesus. In reality, isn’t this what all of us are suppose to be doing? We want our young people to be taught to learn about and be obedient to Jesus. As Christians we are trying to be more and more like Jesus. To set a good example for our young people is a duty all of the staff at BCS takes seriously.
We also want to encourage our students to reach their potential through hard work and study. We recognize not all our students are college bound, but with the technology in industry today, preparation is still important. We simply want them to find a work they love and be prepared to do the job in a way that is pleasing to God. Education is a life long endeavor.
We also want to encourage our parents to be involved in their children’s education. You can do that by knowing how your student is doing. If you have not signed up for Engrade, please do so by contacting the office. We will get back to you and get you signed up so you can check assignments, grades, etc. throughout the nine week period. If you need to meet with your child’s teachers, please call and we will set up a parent/teacher/student conference.
We want everyone to know that this is your school. Be an active stakeholder in your child’s education. That will help a great deal in the preparation of your children for the future both with God and man.
PFT meeting tonight, September 6, 2011, at 6:30pm.

“THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY AT BOYD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL”
Recently I had the privilege of meeting a man who means a great deal to Boyd Christian School. In fact, it was largely because of his and others like him, efforts and hard work that BCS is what it is today. This man worked for many years to insure students were able to attend a Christian school right here in this community. When something needed to be done, I am told Mr. C.N. Womack saw that it was done.
I know I cannot have the same impact that Mr. Womack had during his many years of service to this school. As the headmaster I don’t know that anyone can. All I can do is to try to carry on the tradition of Christian education as we now have it in this area of Middle Tennessee.
In order to accomplish this goal, we must all be united in one mind and spirit. We must allow problems of the past that has separated us be forgotten. Yes, mistakes were made and being human we will make future mistakes. But with the guidance of God, and forgiving one another, we can be the light in this community that Mr. Womack and others like him envisioned.
It is the dawning of a new day. What will this day bring? That question will be answered by each of us who are stakeholders in this school. Will I be a source of strength and encouragement? Will I work with my time and resources to make it better? Or will I hold on to my grudge and in reality, hurt myself by so doing? Jesus said to forgive in Matthew 18. I am asking as the new administrator that you forgive all past mistakes and lets pull together to make Boyd Christian School the best it can be. You will be proud you did.
Our numbers are down and we are going to have to make up the shortage in the budget. If you can make a tax free donation now or any time in the near future please do so. As tax time approaches and you find you need a tax deduction please remember Boyd Christian School.
Our future depends upon us uniting and truly having a common goal of making sure it truly is the dawning of a day where we have a bright and glorious future as the only Christian school in this area.
In Him,
Weldon Parkinson, Headmaster
