This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
Over the next few weeks, we will highlight The Four Agreements, a New York Times Bestseller for over a decade.
The First Agreement: Be Impeccable With Your Word
- Speak with integrity.
- Say only what you mean.
- Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.
- Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
-Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
FAC Wish List
As a pre-professional training ground for aspiring artists, we will at times need to augment what we are given through the school budget in order to meet professional industry standards. If you are interested in purchasing an item of need instead of donating money to the FAC, please click on the following link to access the FAC Wish List.
FAC Custom Umbrellas
Recently, Greenville County Schools provided each site with new picnic tables. We have 4 new beautiful tables located at the Main Entrance of the school, and our students are enjoying eating lunch outside and socializing before and after class. In order to make the area more comfortable for our students, we would like to purchase a commercial-grade umbrella for each table. The product we have chosen is described in the picture to the right; we feel that this particular model will be a durable and aesthetically-pleasing addition to the front of our school.
The total cost for 4 umbrellas, heavy-duty bases, and umbrella covers will be approximately $4,000. The FAC Parent Guild has generously agreed to purchase one umbrella, base, and cover, and we are asking for contributions toward the purchase of the remaining 3 umbrella sets. With over 400 students at the FAC, we can get this done for under $8 per student.
- If you would like to donate towards the total purchase, please click on the following link: https://tinyurl.com/2p8jnuv2. Any amount, no matter how small, is appreciated.
- If you are interested in purchasing one of the three remaining sets, please email me so that I can give you instructions on how to make the donation. We will ensure that anyone who purchases a full set will receive appropriate recognition.
- If donations exceed the total cost of the umbrellas, the excess funds will go towards campus beautification projects.
As always, please reach out with any questions. Thank you so much for your continuous support of our students and our school!

The synopsis of Electric Love is as follows:
Daniel has met the love of his life, Julia. But will he keep her love--or follow the rocky path of his ancestors and throw it all away? Part family tree reveal, part fated love story, this '90s high school romance lays it all out on the line. But will Daniel’s efforts be enough to win Julia’s love?
The production will last approximately 1:45 including a 15-minute intermission. The show is appropriate for ages 10 and up.

The Greenville-centric story opens on Halloween night. While most families make their rounds through the well-known neighborhoods, a handful of kids break off from the group. Hoping to reveal an unspoken Greenville secret, they head to an abandoned mansion along the Reedy River. They knock on the door, and after no answer, a brave little girl says “Let’s go!” and pushes it open. Lightning flashes to reveal a silhouette of a couple who dance a pas de deux to a string quartet medley of several Michael Jackson-inspired tunes.
Music By Michael Jackson and Choreography by Hernan Justo.
