January 2019

Lower School Newsletter …. From Wade Putnal

Welcome to the second semester of this school year. I hope you all enjoyed family time and making some special memories. We are so happy to have the children back on campus. It seems they have all grown at least an inch or two over the holidays! 2019 will be an exciting year as we prepare to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of First Presbyterian Day School.

As a school we have so much to celebrate every day…. a mission focused school, outstanding accreditation, phenomenal teachers and staff, fabulous facilities, and multitudes of opportunities for your children. The faculty and staff are committed to all the great things that go on at FPDS every single day. Thank you for choosing FPDS so we can celebrate with you as your children grow. Please keep our school in your prayers.
