Better Together!


We love this Viking ship display that we spotted on the way to 1st and 2nd grade chapel in the auditorium today.  Thanks, Dr. Patterson, for a fantastic chapel about obedience, and thanks, Mrs. Simmons for this awesome art display!!!

This Week Is Virtual Open House Week!

 This year has brought many unexpected challenges, but also some wonderful new opportunities!  One of those is this year's Virtual Open House.  Click HERE to hear more about what to expect this week, and click HERE to read all about it on our FPD web page.  Parents, we will miss seeing you on campus, but we are so happy to be able to share great information with you using our FPD RED Open House folders!!!  Let your child's homeroom teacher know if you have any questions.

Virtual Chapel--Developing Christlike Character!

 Each week our FPD Lower School students are engaging in chapel in different ways.  While many weeks students meet in person in the auditorium, other weeks our chapel is virtual and students campus-wide watch chapel on their classroom Viewboards.  We are so grateful for the technology that makes this possible!!!  Click the link or picture below to hear more about the theme of this year's virtual chapels...

Elementary Chapel Begins...



 

Today our 5th graders met with Dr. Patterson in person to discuss what it means to be ONE.  Grades 3K-4th enjoyed their first ever virtual chapel about this same topic.  Watch it here to learn more and to hear about our elementary student PACT...

Each week students will rotate attending chapel in-person and virtually.  We are so grateful that even though we aren't all in the same room, we are all worshiping God together across our lower school at FPD!
