What a fun week First Grade Spanish Immersion had learning about pumpkins! On Thursday they had their pumpkin day and invited their PreK buddies into their class to show them everything they learned. The first graders showed such ownership of their learning! We are so grateful to be able to provide these opportunities for our students!
The Middle School Adventure Club enjoyed a beautiful fall day kayaking down the Muskegon River! 🍂🚣♀️
We had an exciting visit from the Fremont Fire Department! The firefighters taught us all about fire safety rules, showed us their gear, and even gave us a close-up look at their fire truck. The kids loved learning how to stay safe and were thrilled to meet real community heroes!
Last week Kindergarten and 2nd grade Spanish Immersion students had the opportunity to be servant workers and community builders by packing food for Hand2Hand. With joyful hearts, we packed 107 bags! These were delivered on Thursday afternoon so that students from Fremont Public Schools will had food to take home for the weekend. What a wonderful way to show God’s love in action!
Decker Building Takes Over The Blessing Box
Our Decker classrooms are caring for the Blessing Box on the north side of the Decker building! This is a “give as you can, take as you need” community resource, giving families and community members a chance to receive extra support. Students gave the box a fresh coat of paint and decorated it. Each month they will donate, organize, and share items—giving FCS a chance to Glow 🌟and our students a chance to Shine their Light🌞, which is our school theme this year, while spreading the love of Jesus in our community.
Our 4th and 8th graders took a walking field trip to The Arts Place last week to experience the en plein air exhibit! 🎨 They learned about the art of painting outdoors, admired the beautiful pieces on display, and even enjoyed a tour of The Arts Place. Students also had the chance to explore the gallery and see the incredible local artwork for sale.
Our 6th–8th grade girls’ volleyball team lit up the gym on Friday with an exciting Glow Volleyball practice complete with blacklights and glowsticks! What a fun way to build skills and team spirit!
Our 5th and 6th grade Outdoor Education students have been hard at work updating and expanding the hiking trail they began last school year! This fall, they’re creating a special gathering space in the Big Woods near the towering Red Oak along the trail. Next time you’re out for a hike, be sure to pause and rest on the log benches they’ve added!
Come join us on Friday, September 19th for Fremont Christian School’s Fall Festival!

Our first two weeks of school have been full of fresh air, hands-on learning, and joyful exploration in God’s creation! From our youngest learners to our middle schoolers, students have been discovering that the outdoors is one of the best classrooms of all.
Highlights include:
8th & 3rd grade buddies spending time together outside
7th grade science students reflecting and observing the beauty of God’s world
3OE students going on a noun walk to find people, places, and things around school
Choosing special “sit spots” in the treeline for ongoing reflection throughout the year
78 OE SS crafting “ancient” artifacts from natural items
Releasing a butterfly and watching it take flight 🦋
Even blazing a hiking trail to make way for new adventures!
We love seeing students learn, explore, and worship outdoors—reminded daily that “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” (Psalm 24:1)
🌳 Here’s to a year filled with wonder, discovery, and God’s fingerprints all around us!
Adventure Club hiked the trails of Branstrom Park for the November Adventure!
Thank you to the @fremont fire department for coming to visit yesterday! We thank you for your sacrifice and willingness to help others and educate our students about all the important roles you and your team fill.
Thank you very much to all of the students (and parents) that brought in can goods for our can drive! These will go so far in benefitting TrueNorth community services!

Outdoor Education 5th and 6th graders are developing a garden plan for their plots in the hoop house. They’ve prepared the beds, selected their seeds, and are measuring/mapping out where to plant based on spacing requirements on the seed packets. We look forward to experimenting with extending the growing season using the hoop house and growing our own leafy greens, radishes, carrots, Swiss chard, cucumbers, beans, and zucchini!

Last Day Celebration Chapel! Today we celebrated how our awesome God moved during the year, and how we can have a personal relationship with him, through praise, pondering his Word and world, prayer, and pursuing a Christian life. We watched pictures of the year, and the 3rd graders helped us to review the verses from each month. We sang praise songs to God, and the 5th/6th dance team helped us to worship in dance. We had the 8th graders and Kindergartners stand and affirm the pledge the 8th graders had made at the beginning of the year. We had presentations of ways students pursued God in recycling and spending time outdoors. As we go forward into the summer, it is our prayer that we can “Be still, and know that I am God.! Ps. 46:10.
Elementary Praise Chapel: this morning we pursued our personal relationships with God in praise, prayer, and pondering God’s Word. Different classes led us in praise, and many students shared verses with us. Miss Katie Nicholas shared a dramatic recitation of Acts 16, and Paul and Silas’s escape from jail. We pray that FCS students will continue to put God’s Word into their hearts!
Leadership! We are grateful that our 8th and 7th graders are learning leadership skills. We do it all year long, in family groups, buddies, chapels, and more. This was also so evident today at our Field day, as our Middle School leaders ran different stations, under the guidance of our gym teacher, Miss Bouma. What a great opportunity to learn to lead, teach, encourage, and learn in a supportive setting. FCS: raising up leaders to impact the world for Christ!
Pursue Family Group Friday! Today we explored things we grow at Fremont Christian in our Family Group circles: things like plants, trees, kids, faith, love, patience, friendship and more! Then we talked about what helps to make these things grow: God!! Love, help from others, teaching, prayer, reading the Bible, encouraging others, being a good friend, etc. We had people stand and show how the adults and older students can help and encourage younger students to pursue and grow too! We talked and sang about how we need to Pursue God and give him the praise in all we do! Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
