I am thrilled to announce to you that the Foundation Christian Academy Board of Trustees has approved a 5 year campaign to dramatically expand and greatly enhance our facilities. This starts with the purchase of an additional 18 acres from the Bell Shoals church giving our students a beautiful 25 acre campus. This will include a new state of the art high school and middle school complete with a contemporary student development center, Panther Canteen, modern science lab and elevated bible theater with multimedia capabilities. Phase I of this project is to develop and build the Centerplex. We can break ground in the spring of 2015 provided our FCA family and our community will link arms with us in raising 1.5 million dollars in the next few weeks. To show our commitment and confidence in this campaign, the eight members of the Board of Trustees are personally funding a $750,000 dollar for dollar matching challenge. I excited to announce this strategic expansion and to ask you for your urgent consideration helping this vision become reality. My hope is that you will become a Panther Partner by committing a five year pledge that will give us the confidence to have a shovel in the ground. Please be generous and join us today in this effort so we can get started on Phase I of our grand vision for the FCA student body. The new high school building is so nice and has cutting edge classrooms that make learning fun. And the teachers are amazing and helpful.
