Florida Christian School
The
Declaration
www.floridachristian.org
SUMMER 2014
According to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, over 28,000 people
received the gift of an organ transplant in
2013. In the same report it stated that one
million people received tissue transplants
that helped them recover from trauma,
bone damage, spinal injuries, burns, hearing impairment, and vision loss. There are
many stories behind these statistics about
how people choose to donate their organs
or tissue in order to help someone else live.
The people waiting for these donations are
often on the brink of death, and are waiting
on the news that might give them a chance
for life or sight. Organ and tissue donations
are good news that generate hope. The
organs and tissue often transform the recipient’s life and provide them with hope for
their future.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has the same
kind of effect on people. When people
are suffering through a difficult life without
hope, they need to hear that God has a plan
that can change their life. The Gospel will
change their lives forever. A transformed
life is proof positive that we know Jesus
and have experienced his life-changing gift.
In the Bible, Jesus used the example of living water to describe this gift of hope. In
John 4:10, He told the woman at the well
that He could give her this water and she
would never thirst again. “Jesus answered
her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it
is that asks you for a drink, you would have
asked him and he would have given you
living water.” She did not understand his
imagery of a physical need representing a
spiritual one as He spoke of new life. There
are many people all around us who are dissatisfied with their lives and are looking for
something different. As Christians we have
the opportunity to tell others that Jesus is
the way to a new life. Jesus himself gives
us the example of the work of sharing our
faith with others. His encounter with the
woman at the well is not unlike our opportunities. It was no accident that Jesus met
the woman at the well that day. It is no acci-
dent that you as a believer will
have the opportunity to share
your faith with someone today
or tomorrow. If you aren’t sure
if you have received the gift of
eternal life Jesus offered, maybe it is no accident that you are
reading this article.
From the desk of
Dr. Robert
Andrews
When a person has a physical
need for an organ transplant,
the barriers of social class, race, ethnicity,
and language don’t seem very important.
Sometimes these boundaries are obstacles when it comes to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The truth is that most
people give more attention to their physical
needs than to their spiritual needs because
they seem more immediate and important.
When a person’s physical life is in danger,
most people respond with urgency. Around
the world today there are untold numbers
of people without Jesus who urgently need
to meet the only one who can provide them
with hope.
Our choice is whether or not we
will share what we know with
those people who need Christ
so desperately or we will choose
to withhold the very remedy that
would offer them the blessed
hope of salvation.

In John 4:39-42, we can read about the
results of the Samaritan woman’s new life
in Christ. “Many of the Samaritans from
that town believed in him because of the
woman’s testimony, “He told me everything
I ever did, so when the Samaritans came
to him, they urged him to stay with them,
and he stayed two days. And because of
his words many more became believers.
They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we
have heard for ourselves, and we know that
this man really is the Savior of the world.”
The result of this one woman’s salvation
was that many believed her testimony,
many had increased interest in Jesus, and
many more came to believe after hearing
Jesus themselves.

THE DARYL SAFREED LIBRARY
A very special tribute was made during the 2014 FCS graduation ceremony. Mrs. Nancy Safreed was
presented with a plaque which stated the following:
The Daryl Safreed Library
By decree of the Florida Christian School Board, the library at Florida Christian School
will bear the name of our beloved English teacher, Mr. Daryl Safreed.
Mr. Safreed taught Senior English, AP English, and Speech at Florida Christian
School from 1990 until 2013. His impact on students transcended the classroom as he
influenced their career choice, college choices and admission, and their spiritual life as
well.
His name on the Florida Christian School library will forever honor his passion for
reading and for books.
Mrs. Nancy Safreed receives a plaque from Mr. Bob Felder, President of the FCS
Board of Directors as Dr. Robert Andrews looks on.

6TH GRADE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM & BOTANICAL GARDENS TRIP
Last semester, the 6th grade class had the special opportunity to visit the Miami Beach Holocaust Museum and
Botanical Gardens. The field trip encompassed many scholarly experiences about history and the abounding
plants of South Florida. In addition, the students met a World War II survivor named Henry Flescher and asked
him questions about his inspirational journey. It was truly a memorable experience for all of the students.
Sixth Grade Class President, Rebecca Menendez, graciously wrote a letter to Mr. Flescher on behalf of the 6th
grade class and presented it to him as a memento of their learning experience.
Dear Mr. Henry Flescher,
My name is Rebecca Menendez and I am writing on behalf of my 6th grade FCS class. In Language Arts, we
read a historical fiction piece about a young Jewish boy who endured the horrific time of World War II while
relying on a promise from his father to generate courage, faith, and benevolence. Although we learned about
the horrors of warfare and combat, we never forgot the discrimination and persecution the Jews underwent
during World War II. While watching the enthusiasm from the class growing, our English teacher assigned a
group class project to learn through the literary world about the causes and effects of World War II. Because
of our famishment for history, we really indulged ourselves in the fact of how vulnerable the twenty-first century
really is.
Although the 6th grade class became quite adept historians, it could have never occurred without the progression of this tremendous experience. While learning about the oppression of one innocent and guiltless race,
questions came to mind about how bigots can easily develop into everlasting assailants. The idea of ghettos and concentration camps bewildered us and continually established an awareness of the maltreatment of
World War II. This made us mindful of how thankful we should be to live in the society we live in today, instead
of a communist or socialist country. My class understood that freedom in America should be cherished and
should remind us of the responsibility a sincere citizen should have. This excursion through the “echoes” of
World War II created an epitome of knowledge for my 6th grade class. Despite the different cultures, backgrounds, and talents my classmates have, we all increased our love for reading and history. I hope this letter
finds you well and brings you joy.
With Admiration,
The 6th grade FCS Class

The Miami Herald Silver Knight Award
The Miami Herald Silver Knight Award is one of
the nation’s most highly regarded student award
programs. This prestigious award is given to 15
academically outstanding high school seniors in Dade
and Broward County who use their talents and abilities
to serve their school and communities. The essential
qualification for a Silver Knight Nominee is community
service. A Silver Knight is one whose record of
service to the school and community is consistent
throughout their high school years. Leadership skills,
academic achievement, and excellence in a specific
subject area are important requirements as well.
As a Christian school, teaching students the
importance of service is a vital part of our mission
and this is evidenced by the caliber of our nominees.
This year Florida Christian School is honored to
be represented by four outstanding seniors who
embody the ideals of the Silver Knight Award.
English: Jenna Reisert
Jenna has a passion for helping students with
disabilities and has spent many hours volunteering
at the Learning Experience School. She became
aware of the financial needs of the Down Syndrome
Association of Miami and decided to plan a minigolf tournament. All proceeds of the event went to
the Down Syndrome Association of Miami to assist
students affected by Down syndrome and their families.
It is with great pride that Florida Christian School
presents 2014 Silver Knight Nominees and their projects:
Science: Elise Pericles
Because of her love for science, Elise desired to see a
Science National Honor Society chapter at FCS. She
initiated the chapter last year and then began to work
on a recycling project for the school. This year she
launched the Florida Christian Recycling Awareness
Project as part of her efforts to encourage eco-friendly
habits at school. It was a school-wide project that
allowed students to participate in a recycling initiative.
Digital and Interactive Media: Lauren Magarino
Lauren’s concern for victims of sex trafficking
led her to get involved with The Glory House of
Miami, a nonprofit organization for survivors of
this crime against humanity. Lauren produced the
video Doll to educate students about this issue.
She is also involved in fundraising for this project.
Journalism: Isabella Cueto
Isabella spent some volunteer time at the Miami
Rescue Mission and was deeply touched by the
suffering of victims of domestic violence. She
decided to interview the women and children
at the Miami Rescue Center and publish these
interviews. Her hope is that this book will serve as
a way to educate others about domestic violence.
FCS congratulates all four nominees and their families
for their outstanding community work and dedication to
academic excellence.

Janet Mattern, M.S., M.F.T. - Director of Guidance Counseling
“Discipline or Punish?”
According to the article, “Discipline or Punish”
(1) , do we punish or do we discipline? That is the
question. It would be profitable to take some time
to look at the difference between these two terms.
Although punishment and discipline are often used
interchangeably, in reality they are two very different
concepts. Webster’s Dictionary’s (2) definition of
‘punish’ is to prescribe a form of suffering in penalty
for (an offense), to treat harshly, to inflict punishment.
Discipline on the other hand is defined as, the training
of the mind and character, a branch of learning, control,
order, obedience to rules.
The article goes on to say that punishment is something
that comes from an outside source and insists on
obedience even as it stresses what a child should
not do. Discipline, on the other hand, emphasizes
what a child should do, and is something that comes
(or ought to come) from within the child. Why do we
punish children? As parents and educators, we punish
with the intent that the punishment will lead to better
discipline. The purpose of the punishment is to make a
child remember that something he or she did was not
acceptable and should not be repeated.
For a punishment to be effective it needs to be tailored
to fit the offence and offender both and it needs to
be preceded/succeeded by an explanation.
The
explanation is the discipline. In more simple terms,
discipline should precede
punishment.
If we
discipline first, in some situations it could eliminate the
need for punishment. The ultimate purpose and goal
of punishment and discipline is for the improvement or
prevention of mistakes or unacceptable behavior.
The author suggests the idea that when punishment
and discipline are effectively used, a child can be
molded into a complete and organized individual
ready to take his or her place in the world. Discipline
without punishment is easier when the parent or
educator make an effort to explain things to the child
and the child comes to recognize the rationale behind
a suggested act. The ultimate goal is for the act to
become a routine, systematized part of life- and then
we have discipline! Establishing a cause-and-effect
relationship before either disciplining or punishing will
ensure that the child is aware of the implications of his
or her actions.
21
As Christian parents and educators, every possible
opportunity should be utilized to train up our children
according to God’s word, as we read Proverbs 22:6,
“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he
is old, he will not depart from it.” (3) Notice that the
first word in the verse is, “Train”. Webster’s Dictionary’s
definition of discipline begins with the word training.
Our goal is to train and discipline, our children so they
know from within what they should do, as the meaning
of the word discipline entails. We want their minds and
characters to be molded from within so they will always
know what the right thing to do is. This is why God’s
word says it will never depart from them.
How will it not depart from them? Deuteronomy 11:1819 says, “Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in
your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign
upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between
your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children,
speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
when thou walkest by the way, when thou liests down,
and when thou risest up” (3). Simply put, God wants us
to teach His word to our children every waking moment
that we are with them. When you sit at home and when
you walk along the road, when you lie down and when
you get up. The key is to keep God’s word in the fore front of the minds of our children with consistency.
With the foundation of God’s Word instilled in our
children, their minds and characters will be molded so
they can become complete and organized individuals
ready to take their place in the world. Does this mean
they will never make mistakes? Of course not. Yet,
perhaps some mistakes can be avoided if we follow
God’s way of discipline. “A man who never makes
mistakes loses opportunities to learn something”(4).
With a clearer understanding of punishment and
discipline, I pray it is helpful in raising your children.

“To Spank or Not To Spank?”
The previous Declaration article from Guidance and
Counseling found on the previous page, addressed
the topic of discipline and punishment. This article
addresses the topic of spanking. “To Spank or Not to
Spank”, (1) that is the question. This following article
on spanking was written by Archibald D. Hart, Ph.D.
who writes for the American Association of Christian
Counselors periodical, and it is reprinted here with
permission. It is one of the best articles I have read on
spanking and I believe it will answer the question, “To
Spank or Not to Spank”, and put your mind at ease.
“To Spank or Not To Spank”
In this day when the risk of being accused of child
abuse is high, is there any question more vexing to
parents than that of whether or not to spank a child?
Most experts now believe that physical discipline
is a throwback to an uncivilized age. Spanking is
outdated, they say, an inferior and unnecessary form
of punishment.
But is a “spanking”, when administered reasonably and
as a last resort, always bad? Is there no redeeming
aspect to the biblical mandate: “He who spares the
rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to
discipline him”? (Proverbs 13:24 NIV). Are there not
at least some circumstances that justify a physical
consequence to some bad behavior?
Why is spanking considered to be bad?
One of the reasons why any physical discipline is
viewed negatively is that it is seldom done reasonably
and properly. Invariably it teaches a child that hitting
someone is acceptable. I don’t doubt that this is a form
of aggression that can lead to child abuse when a
parent’s anger is out of control.
Most parents who resort to spanking, do so because
they have lost control over their anger, and when that
happens the punishment becomes abusive - and
always destructive to the parent/child relationship.
Even Christian parents, believing that they are following
the biblical mandate to “not spare the rod” have been
known to go too far and abuse a child. There have
even been cases where such parents, believeing that
22
they are doing what God intends have punished a child
to the point of maiming or even killing the boy or girl hardly a witness to our faith!
I am sure that most parents reading this are not in this
category. They only want what is best for their child.
So, to clarify this issue, let me put the question this
way: does the potential for abuse mean that any form
of spanking, carried out reasonably and without anger,
is an unacceptable way to raise children today? I don’t
think so.
How common is spanking?
When you look at the research, pediatricians and child
psychologists can be divided over this issue. One
recent survey showed that 80% of parents admitted
that they had spanked a child - but only 10% felt it
was a good method of discipline. 70% regretted their
actions and wished they knew better methods.
Does a reasonable, minor spanking that does not harm
a child constitute abuse?
I don’t believe so. Black’s Law dictionary defines child
abuse as, “An intentional or neglectful physical or
emotional injury imposed on a child, including sexual
molestation” - clearly minor spanking does not qualify.
Does a spanking that bruises or causes a child to be
harmed constitute abuse? Yes it does. And here is the
rub: How can an angry parent know what constitutes
a reasonable punishment? You can’t take a spanking
back, nor can you undo the emotional harm that
occurs when a child experiences an unjust physical
punishment.
However, Let me also say that a parent withholding
love as punishment can be just as abusive as one who
beats a child. I have had many of my patients say to
me that they wished they had been spanked as a child.
The prolonged cold rejection of an indifferent parent
had done far more harm to them!
Balancing your discipline
So how can we achieve balance here? Here are some
suggestions:
1. First, let me make my position very clear here.
FROM THE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING DEPARTMENT
Janet Mattern, M.S., M.F.T. - Director of Guidance Counseling
“To Spank or Not To Spank” (Continued)
The Proverbs 13:14 statement is NOT a mandate to
only use a physical form of punishment. We always
only read the first part and not the whole verse. It is
a mandate to discipline a child, and there are many
ways a parent can do this biblically besides reaching
for the nearest belt or stick and dragging your child to
the woodshed. It is the parent who never disciplines
‘that hates his or her child’.
2. No matter what discipline you use, at all costs
avoid doing it in anger. Wait until you have calmed
down. If necessary, tell your child that you will wait,
and then address the discipline issue when your
anger has passed - it will be more effective. Angry
parents who impulsively lash out and then rationalize
their behavior on the grounds that they are “doing it
biblically”, will have a lot to answer for!
3. Reserve a spank (which I prefer over ‘spanking’)
for severe misbehaviors, especially those that involve
the child being a danger to him/herself or others.
Throwing sand in another child’s eyes, in play or
when angry, or running into a busy street when told
not to, may warrant a physically painful, though not
damaging spank. The consequences of such behavior
more than justify this response.
4. Work at developing a better general system of
discipline that applies definite consequences for
unacceptable behaviors. These consequences should
ALWAYS be spelled out ahead (e.g. ‘timeout’) and
should be applied consistently. It is inconsistency of
discipline that undermines it. Whenever you say,
“The next time you do..., I will...”, mean it! Then do it!
You will be quite surprised how easy discipline then
becomes.
If you want more help, see my book “Stress and Your
Child”, Word Books.

“STEPHANIE HERO”
This spring, the FCS Drama department performed “Stephanie Hero”, a magical theatrical experience
for all ages. With her father the king away and her mother not wanting the responsibility, Stephanie
is left to deal with all of the issues that arise in their kingdom due to the evil Leopold T. Bosco wanting
Stephanie all to himself. Despite being a young princess, Stephanie sets off to tackle the tasks that
right all the wrongs.
Congratulations to the drama students and Mrs. Fox, who presented an exciting and fun production.

DRAMA DEPARTMENT
Mrs. Jessica Fox
The 2013-2014 school year held many highlights for the drama department! We are actively involved
in the International Thespian Society competitions for both middle and high school.
October: Senior troupe performed Almost, Maine at Districts.
-Earned straight Superior scores
-Alan Vives was awarded the All Star Cast member recognition
-Sabrina Diehl and Mark Simonitis won Best Supporting Actress and Actor for all of Dade County
-Best set and lighting for all of District 8 Thespians.
-Chosen to represent our district and perform our oneact at States!
November and December: The Jr. and Sr. Thespians performed over 60 Individual Event scenes
ranging from monologues, musical theatre, costume construction, playwriting, and set design. Far too
many students earned superior scores to list or even to register for states! Listed are the Critic’s
Choice winners from our troupe (best in the district in their category): A.J. Alvarez (Pantomime),
Emmyn Calleiro (Ensemble Acting), Natasha Gonzalez (Pantomime), Camila Hidalgo (Ensemble
Acting), Kaylin Jacamino (Ensemble Acting), Andres Mendez (Ensemble Acting and Pantomime),
Danielle Rayon (Costume Construction), Tatiana Perez-Villamayor (Ensemble Acting). Taylor San
Miguel (Pantomime), and Karina Tohme (Pantomime).
December: The Jr. Troupe took their one-act Penelope, Pride of the Pickle Factory to districts and
was the highest scoring production in the district. We were chosen to represent our district and
perform our one-act at States!
Spring: Our Main Stage production this year was Stefanie Hero. Students “flew” on silk lines above
the audience’s heads, learned to wield swords, and all performers adapted beautifully to their first
performance in the round. There was even an appearance from a 10 ft. tall dragon! We performed our
show for elementary through high school in matinees and family and friends in the evening
performances.
Both Jr. and Sr. one-act productions earned straight superior scores again at the state level. A.J.
Alvarez was awarded All Star Cast member for Penelope; David Gonzalez earned a Critic’s Choice
at the State level and performed his monologue for thousands (a first for our school!).
In the spring our middle school drama students competed at the FACCS regional and state Jr. Fine
Arts competition and helped contribute to FCS being the High Point Cup winner.
It was a great year for the drama department; the Lord truly blessed our work. The end of the year
held many sad goodbyes, as usual. Below are listed the Honor Thespian seniors who received
recognition at graduation:
Honor Thespians: (Over 600 hours served in the theatre department, outside of class)
Jordan Cox, Isabella Cueto, Lauren Magarino, Sophia Treto, Alan Vives
National Honor Thespians: (Over 1,200 hours served in the theatre department, outside of class)
David Gonzalez, Jared Octala
International Honor Thespian: (Over 1,800 hours served in the theatre department, outside of class)
Orlando Mendez Orly is the first to be awarded International Honor Thespian status in FCS Troupe
history!
We begin now thinking toward what next year will hold; production titles to be announced early in the
fall semester!

BRAIN BOWL
From February 5 to February 9, 2014, 28 high schoolers and 3 chaperones went to Orlando to compete in
the FACCS Brain Bowl competition. For two days our Teams competed in what could be compared to a ‘team
jeopardy’, where we were questioned on various topics ranging from all levels of mathematics to world history
and social studies to Literature. Our C Team placed second in the state, and our A and B teams excelled in the
consolation rounds. When not competing, we also had the amazing opportunities to dive/snorkel in the Living
Seas at EPCOT and to participate in the Survival of the Fittest camp in Busch Gardens. Not only did we have an
absolutely incredible trip, but we grew closer as friends and made memories I will never forget.

ART GALLERY
Florida Christian School’s Art Department presented the 17th Annual Art Gallery on Friday, May 9, 2014. The theme was
“Unfailing Love”. This is a very well-attended event and this year’s turnout was outstanding. Students and their families
came to enjoy and admire the artists’ work. First through 12th grade students had works on display that evening. The night
was a celebration of talent: from the artwork to the fashions to the delicous foods, some prepared by our Consumer Science
students and all served by these students.
This year’s graduating class was honored and recognized for their outstanding talents. Many pieces were available for
sale and proud parents and other art collectors bought pieces in support of the Marina VanderWal Art Foundation. The Art
Gallery was a testimony to the God-given talent so many FCS students have. We all look forward to enjoying next year’s
Gallery!

ELEMENTARY NEWS
Maria Lehnhard, Elementary Principal
Elementary Spiritual Emphasis Week was April 14-17 and featured Stephen Wilson from GodScience (www.
Godscience.info). Through the use of chemical demonstrations, Mr. Wilson illustrated “how sin can shatter
our lives and get us into an extreme mess. However, if we turn from our sins in true repentance, God will take
away our sins & make us as white as snow.”
The Little Farm at FCS
Our 3K and 4K students enjoyed a visit from the many small animals
brought to us by The Little Farm. Many students held farm animals for
the very first time! We are were grateful for the opportunity our young
students had to enjoy God’s creatures.

ELEMENTARY NEWS
Dr. Seuss Day
Theodor Seuss Geisel, an American writer, poet and cartoonist ,was known as Dr. Seuss to countless children.
Our 3K - 5K classes have read many of his books. “Dr. Seuss Day” was celebrated with costumes and special
snacks including green eggs and ham. Even our teachers dressed the part!

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
by: Isabella Cueto
“Our goal here is to make efficacious citizens,” Close Up
Program Instructor Candace Wilkinson told the students of
Workshop 2 upon their arrival. Junior and seniors traveled
to Washington, D.C. on January 12th to join one of the many
weekly seminars for high schoolers in the nation’s capital.
What those students did not know, however, was how much
greater their experience would be. From touring the Jefferson Memorial to taking an impromptu metro trip to Old Town
Alexandria with their chaperone, History teacher Mr. Chris
Rivera, the nine students got the experience of a lifetime
with the help of the Close Up Foundation.
Senior Alexander Zimmerman said, “I especially enjoyed
debating alongside [senior] Gabriel Diaz in the mock Congress and sneaking back to the Capitol for what we called a
‘Closer Up’ tour with Congressman Joe Garcia. I appreciated the chance to meet students from across the country
and to hear what they think on key issues, as well as to
meet key leaders, including Congresswoman Ileana RosLehtinen on the steps of the Capitol, Senators John McCain
and Marco Rubio, and staffers (just a few years older than
us) from Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart and Senator Bill
Nelson’s offices.”
After taking an FCS-only tour of the Capitol with South Afri-
can diplomats and Congressman Garcia, the representative
responded to junior Casey Ruiz on Twitter, writing, “It was
my pleasure. Hope you learned a lot @CloseUp_DC.”
Besides learning about history, government, and politics,
students also got to meet scores of other high schoolers
from across the United States. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors from New Jersey, California, Illinois, and
Georgia became peers in discussions and debates. In addition to workshops, the students were randomly arranged
into buses, and got to socialize during transfers between
memorials and museums. Overall, the Close Up trip was five
days of becoming familiar with the unfamiliar and expanding
horizons. Students became closer with one another, friendly
with strangers, and educated in effective citizenship.
