Eagle Day is always a fun day here at FCS. It involves a Jog-A-Thon during the school day, a family carnival (Eagle Fair) at night, and a Kid K race during the Eagle Fair. The entire day is built to deepen community among FCS families and provide a fun way of supporting Faith Christian School.

What is Jog-A-Thon?
It is an event during the school day on Friday May 18 where each class has 20-30 minutes to complete as many laps around the Jog-A-Thon track as they can. We’ll have live music, some games to keep it fun, and other students along the course cheering on each group of runners. 6 laps around the track makes one mile. The track is in the parking lot, between FCS and the Faith East Community Center.
Spring is a great time to get active. Throughout April, we are encouraging “Active, Healthy April” or AHA month here at FCS. In conjunction with getting active and healthy, we provide a way for friends and family to support FCS. This will be our second year of this event and last year it was a hit.
From April 11 – May 2 students will be able to request support from friends and family to sponsor the student for a certain number of laps, or a flat fee for participating in the Jog-A-thon. We’ll provide each student with sponsor sheets that they can distribute in raising sponsorships. The sponsor sheet explains the Jog-A-Thon, its goals, and how the students will be involved. Our goal for this fundraiser this year is $55,000. Every dollar raised will be funneled right back into the fulfilling the mission of Faith Christian School.
On Friday, May 18 we will have normal school hours. The students will enjoy a day of class, a special lunch (we’ll send an order form home in the week of April 30), a time of stretching with a physical trainer, running on the Jog-A-Thon track, and a time to cool down and cheer on other students. Parents and family are welcome to come cheer on their student(s).
