This was the infamous statement made by fictional sleuth Sherlock Holmes to his trusted assistant Dr. Watson, to explain his witty deductions during an investigation. Holmes skills of observation and his application of scientific and mental precision served him well in his line of work. This year in PreK and Elementary classes, we will serve on a special task force called C.S.I. (Christian Sleuths Inc.) to sharpen our skills of observation, interpretation and application, as we investigate God’s Word together.
Our school theme for 12.13 is…. “In Pursuit of Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom.”
On the PreK and elementary level, we lay a biblical foundation for life, learning and leadership as we teach children how to make connections between Truth and real life. Our instructional program originates from a reverential awe of the Lord as the beginning of knowledge. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit working within the individual heart of each child, that life-change begins. During monthly chapels, students will examine the evidence and search for clues to identify, know, and practice six specific spiritual disciplines within the context of developing Jesus Habits for the kingdom. Our Related Arts program also supports our biblical worldview focus.
I look forward to all that the Lord will teach us this year as we study His Word together! Fellow Agents have your Bible, pen and notebook handy, and join me for a “mission packed” new year!
Blessings,
Linda H. Shaw, Elementary Principal
12.13 C.S.I. Agent

On Wednesday, April 10, FBA student teams comprised of students in grades K-12 participated in a school –wide, campus-wide mission. Special Ops teams rotated through activity stations focused on the five Biblical Worldview components of God, Creation, Mankind, Moral Order and Purpose.
Biblical Worldview Day kicked off with an all school assembly to define the 5 Biblical Worldview components.
