American Red Cross Blood Drive - February 28
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 3:57PM 
Tiffany Underwood is a senior at Fairfield Christian Academy who has accomplished great feats in the sports world as well as academic. In June 2011, she earned 8th place at the OHSAA state championships for the high jump, a height of 5’2”. Also, this past November, Tiffany was inducted into the Fairfield Christian chapter of the Mu Alpha Theta, a math honors society. For her Senior Project, as the capstone of her senior year, she decided to assist the American Red Cross by scheduling blood-drives, here at Fairfield Christian Church, and she helps people sign in, overseeing the process. Her mentors for this project have been: Becky Knechtel, Todd Stevens, and Jane MacMillan. The units of blood she receives from the drive are then sent to Fairfield Medical Center, to be distributed as needed.
“I like to help others help others,” Tiffany says, as she explains why she wanted to do this project. Her next drive will be on February 28, 2012, here at Fairfield Christian Church. Sign-ups and forms are available in the main foyer by Door B. Students 16 years of age and older with parents’ permission will be allowed to participate.

Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 2:21PM 
Mr. Craig Carpenter, principal of Fairfield Christian Academy announced that Jesse Brake has been named a Commended Student in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarhip Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by Mr. Carpenter to this scholastically talented senior.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2012 competition for National Merit Scholarships, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2012 competition by taking the 2010 Preliminary SAT/National Meric Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
"The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."
