 Mark Your Calendars–June is Nsaa (Excellence)!!!  Families and friends please plan to submit your child’s, relative or extended family member’s academic and/or cultural achievements.  We will recognize each group of achieving students on the second, third and fourth Sunday in June, 28, 2015.  Pre-school and Elementary on the second Sunday, Middle Grades and High School on the Third Sunday.  This year our theme connects persons in our immediate family (living and ancestral) to our achievements.  We never achieve excellence all by ourselves.  “Because of Them, We Can” asks each

 

Nsaa recipient to name the persons in their immediate family that “made a way” for their achievements. Look to post your application on the FAC website or email it to the church.

 

Please, remember the church in your will.  If you have any questions please see a Trustee Board member.
