Community Service

At FACS, a Christian education encompasses more than academics. When they're not working math problems or writing essays, our students might be found sharing smiles with senior citizens at area nursing homes, collecting food for a partner church in the inner city, or sending cards of encouragement to American soldiers.

One of our most visible service projects is our longstanding partnership with Samaritan's Purse to provide gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children for Christmas. Students in grades junior kindergarten through twelve participate in this annual project, filling hundreds of boxes with toys, candy, school and hygiene supplies and other items.

During the fall of 2009, we began working with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital to Rally Against Childhood Cancer. Students raised nearly $18,000 in two weeks during the October rally, which is expected to become an annual event.

FACS also partners with an inner-city Memphis school, Alcy Elementary, providing service to classroom teachers, Christmas gifts, and monetary assistance.

FACS students respond quickly to crises. This year, our students raised more than $12,000 for emergency aid during the two weeks following the earthquake in Haiti.

Individual classrooms in elementary and junior high school school complete Christian service projects throughout the year, as do most of our secondary clubs.

FACS faculty and administrators especially appreciate the time and energy donated by parents and other supporters of our school who encourage our students as they grow in their service to others.
