🌟 Staff Member of the Month – Uniquely Crafted

Families, we invite you to help us recognize a staff member who is making a meaningful impact at Family of Christ.

Each month, we celebrate a team member who is living out one of our core values. This month’s core value is Uniquely Crafted. As school staff grows in Christ and community, we celebrate how God uniquely wires each person to love and serve others while pointing people to Jesus.

We encourage you to nominate a staff member who reflects this value in their daily work with students and families.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the amazing people who serve our school community!

🚓 Safety Day Recap

Our Safety Day was a fantastic learning experience for our younger students!

Students had the opportunity to interact with members of the Tampa Police Department and Tampa Fire Rescue, explore emergency vehicles, meet a police K9, and even talk with real 911 dispatchers. It was a memorable way for students to learn about safety while connecting with the people who serve our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success!
