In an effort to reaffirm that the majority of youth are fine, upstanding individuals and should be recognized as such, Mayor Lunt on behalf of the City of Fort Scott presented the Faith Christian Academy student body a certificate of recognition and appreciation. The students at Faith Christian are off to a good start being future Fort Scott citizens. According to Mrs. Shead, some of the major events Faith Christian Academy students have been involved with include Frontier Life on the Border. Faith Christian Academy students and staff studied the 1876 era and then made the costumes worn by the 72 volunteers who portrayed a vignette of that era. Faith Christian Academy students volunteered in another new event to Fort Scott this year involving tourism and community awareness.
Student leadership organizes the entire outreach.
Through this event they learn of the need in the community and the benefit of caring. Students help serve each year at the Beacon Soup Line. Each year, Faith Christian Academy students are responsible for the huge amount of candles lining the walks at the Mercy Hospital Foundation Gala. They put them in place, light them and then clean them for storage. Students served at the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall by reading the names of those who died serving the United States.
