We have a HUGE event coming up, here at Foundations Christian School! This is something you're not going to want to miss and the WHOLE family is invited!

On February 26th from 6-8:30pm, we will be hosting a Square Dance and Chili Cook-Off right here at Big Flats Wesleyan Church in Big Flats, New York. 

We're pulling' out all the stops for this one, folks. We have a professional square dance caller along with some of the best chili you've ever tasted. We're going to have raffles, entertainment, drinks, desserts and so much more! 

The cost for this amazing event is only $3 per person (with a $10 family cap). That will get you the square dance, chili and sides. Drinks and desserts will be available at an additional cost. 

You don't have to know how to square-dance in order to have a great time at this event. All you need is a hearty appetite and an adventurous spirit. Whether you're an avid square-dancer, or you've never even heard of this old-fashioned, fun form of entertainment, come on out and support a great cause with Foundations Christian School! 

If you'd like more information about Foundations Christian School and enrolling your children, please contact us!

Does Eating a Healthy Breakfast Help Kids Do Well in School?

Mornings can be so hectic, can't they? It gets even worse when you're trying to get back into the swing of things after a long Christmas break. Even so, here at Foundations Christian School in Big Flats, New York, we want to be sure your kids are ready and eager to learn once they get to school. That's why it's important for you as a parent to be sure your kids eat a healthy breakfast before they come to school. 

Fasting All Night

In your kids' minds, they're just sleeping all night. However, their bodies are under the impression that they're actually fasting. Hence the name for breakfast. Eating a good breakfast gives their brains a healthy dose of glucose, which is the fuel the brain uses to do its job. Without breakfast, children can end up confused about what they're supposed to be doing when they're in class, and critical information is almost impossible for them to maintain for any period of time. 

Energy

For most parents, they wake up in the morning and stumble toward the coffee pot with maybe only one eye open. Their real energy doesn't come around until after they've had at least one cup of coffee. While you don't want to give your kids coffee, for obvious reasons, they do need to wake up, just like you do. Giving them a healthy breakfast not only fuels their brains, but it also fuels their bodies for the day that lies ahead of them. 

Academic Success

Studies have been done regarding the differences between children who do eat breakfast and those who don't, or who eat unhealthy food for breakfast. In every single study, it's amazing how much better the grades are for those students who eat a healthy meal first thing in the morning. Your child's academic success depends in part on making sure he or she is getting a nutritious meal before leaving home. 

Quick Breakfast Ideas

Are you pressed for time first thing in the morning? There are plenty of healthy breakfast options out there that you can fix for your kids in a hurry. Try: 
  • Putting some oatmeal in the crockpot the night before. Kids can add their own fruit for a meal that's ready for them immediately. 
  • Opting for healthy granola bars and a piece of fruit.
  • Finding some new, healthy options for cereal the next time you go to the store (the less sugar, the better!)

Here at Foundations Christian School, we LOVE investing in our kids! Maybe you've been thinking about getting more information about an affordable Christian School in the Big Flats, Horseheads or Elmira area. If so, we'd love to talk with you. Contact us!
