How to order pictures:
Your child was sent home with a Bruckner Photography order envelope. As in previous years, your child's tuition covers the cost of Package E (a $17 value). If you choose Package E, no additional payment is required.
If you'd like to purchase a different package, simply subtract $17 from the total cost when submitting your payment. Please note: the $17 credit applies only to packages, not to individual "Add-On" items, which must be paid in addition to the package cost.
Important: All students must return a completed order form on Picture Day, even if selecting only Package E.
Early Childhood School Pictures: Stay tuned for information on school pictures for our smallest Crusaders. These will be taken on a later date.
Holiday Potpourri Student Art
As part of this year's Holiday Potpourri fundraiser, each child will create a one-of-a-kind piece of art featuring their own fingerprints molded into a golden heart. Set on a hand-painted acrylic tile, each piece reflects your child's unique touch and creativity. These tiles can be used as ornaments or displayed on a stand -- a small, meaningful keepsake that captures this moment in time. Whether gifted or kept, they are a beautiful way to support the school while celebrating your child's individuality. They make great grandparent gifts too!
Check out @holidaypotpourri on Instagram for more pictures of this year's art project.
Here’s how you can get involved:
Purchase: Each piece is $20. To make your purchase, please click here Holiday Potpourri Student Art Form.
Deadline: Please ensure all purchases are made by September 26th to guarantee availability and timely delivery.
Company Policy Reminder
Change in Company Check Out Process: Due to the nature of transitioning our entire student body across the building at the end of the day, we ask parents to not expect to check students out of Company until 3:15pm. Once carpool has ended and students are accounted for, then we will be able to begin Company check outs. Thank you for helping us prioritize safety and order for our students! If you have students in both Early Childhood and Company, we suggest you park and enter at the school office to sign out your students from Company, walk down to get your Early Childhood student, then return to the school office to exit. We are committed to the safety of our students, and having a single check out space allows us to monitor safety well.
FPDS Chapel Chat: Talking to God - A Lesson on Prayer
This week in Chapel, as we continue through the Parables of Jesus, we learned that prayer is talking to God. In fact, it is taking all our thoughts and feelings and concerns and joys to God in prayer. (Read Luke 11 v 5-13)
To encourage us to pray, Jesus tells these two stories to teach us that God is our ________ (v5-8) and that God is our __________ (v9-13).
When we understand that God is our friend and our father, what does it teach us about our coming to the God in prayer?
What three things would you like pray and thank God for?
As a family, take some time to pray for some of these things now.

FPC MOMS Bible Study
Ladies, we hope you’ll join us for MOMS this fall! This year we will have two options - one meeting every Wednesday morning and one meeting every other Tuesday night. MOMS is a Bible study for expectant moms, those who hope to become moms, and those whose youngest child is in the sixth grade or below. Our group is comprised of women from all over the metro area, from many different churches. This semester, led by FPC church member Jane Wiggins, we will study the book of Revelation. A nursery is available, but space is limited. Click this link to register: Click here for dates and details.
