By Monday evening, Faith Christian had met their $150,000 goal for Project Faith. This year the Faith Christian community participated by painting, landscaping, cleaning, and working on other projects at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, the main Corps Building and Community Center, the Red Shield Men’s Lodge, and Turning Point Battered Women’s Shelter.

So, if you’ve kept up with Project Faith in SWoCo the last few weeks, that means that Head of School Samuel Cox and Diane Kelly, Head of Lower School both shaved their head. And we have photos!

The money will go toward operating expenses, teacher salaries, educational materials and financial aid.
