Family of Christ Building Update

“Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting” Joyce Meyer. As we continue to patiently wait for the building project to come together, we truly appreciate the good attitudes that have come from all the Family of Christ community members. This project has no doubt taken much longer than any of us could have anticipated with many unexpected obstacles to tackle along the way. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to poke its way through this week. The rain has subsided allowing the ground to dry out so that the final underground pipes could be run connecting the fire line, electrical conduits, plumbing, and water to the new building. TECO approved the electrical wiring and will be installing the transponder this week so that the electricity can be turned on. Once the electric is flowing, the inside of the building can be pulled together and the skirting, stairs, and ramp attached to the exterior of the building. The city is still holding on to the permit for the work to be completed with the water valves at Bruce B Downs. Please continue to join us in prayer that positive spirits continue to radiate as we practice patience over the next couple of weeks as this projects finally comes together.

Senora Lizbel Ortiz-Ramos

My name is Lizbel Ortiz-Ramos and I'm blessed to say I will be teaching Spanish to all of your wonderful children. I am originally from Puerto Rico and was a teacher at Wiregrass Ranch High School for almost 5 years. I am looking forward not only to teaching your children a new language but also sharing my passion for learning new things everyday!

Barbie House

Senora Ortiz is looking for a Barbie dollhouse with the furnishings to teach the elementary students all of the parts of a house in Spanish. If you have one to donate, please contact her at:

Lortiz@familyofchristtampa.com.

Water Bottles

Don' forget to send your child with a water bottle everyday to school.

Our water fountains are equipped with bottle filling stations. Water bottle fillers are located inside the building and outside on the playground.

READING BUDDIES

READING BUDDIES

All lunches are $4.75 and includes an entre', side, fresh fruit and milk/water bottle. Copies of your menu choices come home in Family Folders before the month begins. Our vendors are Dash of Salt & Pepper, Oronzo Honest Italian and Precinct Pizza.

If your child forgets their lunch, they will be provided with an emergency lunch. This may include a hot lunch or a grape uncrustable with chips, fresh fruit and a milk/water. Your Tuition Express account will be charged the $4.75 for lunch.

Lunches are not billed until the end of the month so students can add or take away lunch menu items. Little taste buds sometimes think they will like something and then don't. If that is the case, email Ms. Patti at Pharmon@familyofchristtampa.com or call her at 813-558-9343 Ext. 118 and she will change your child's order for future weeks.
