STATE OF THE SCHOOL ADDRESS – Superintendent Debbie Siebert will hold the fifth annual State of the School Address on January 27th at 7:00 PM in the G.L. Johnson Chapel. As a school community it is beneficial for everyone involved to have a clear understanding of how well we are meeting the mission of Fresno Christian Schools. Along with reporting on the school programs Mrs. Siebert will present information regarding the financial picture of our school. As we work together to strengthen Fresno Christian the more information we have about all aspects of the program the more effective our unified efforts will be.
