Fellowship of Christian Athletes is officially back at Salem Middle School. Business Tech teacher Jennifer Morris led the first meeting last Wednesday at SMS. She originally started the club at Salem High School years ago as a teacher and wanted to bring it back upon her return.
In 2016, Morris handed over FCA to Gwinn Miller when she left to begin a teaching career at Scottsburg. While there, Morris was involved in FCA and guided many students. Since returning to Salem as a teacher this school year, she wants to bring back the club.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes is ¨an interdenominational Christian sports ministry to see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes¨ according to the FCA official site.
¨One thing that is challenging is that in school, Christians sometimes feel alone and the minority; FCA allows students from all faith backgrounds and experiences to fellowship together,¨ said Morris.
¨We welcome any student at SMS, regardless if they are an athlete or not, and/or if they attend a church or not. I am going under the FCA umbrella because I am most familiar with this as a Christian club that is offered in schools, and they have amazing support and resources available to leaders. FCA is also not affiliated with any certain denomination of religion. The focus is on giving students a way to fellowship in a safe space where they can hear a positive message that can strengthen their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ.”
In the middle school meetings, they will have an icebreaker/game, a speaker and an activity.
¨For example, for our first meeting, it coincided with World Kindness Day, so we ended it by everyone creating post-it note cards with words of kindness to give to someone that day,” said Morris.
“We will be looking for service opportunities for our club as well, to participate in as we get going. We will be looking to get students involved in leadership. As the club matures, and our leadership takes shape, I hope to have our leadership take more of an active role such as leading prayer, doing announcements, running games, and leading the messages.¨
Miller said they are hoping to bring the two groups together some this school year.
¨I am hoping we can work together with the middle school and do some activities together,” she said. “I think there are some high school kids that would love to work with the middle school group.”
There are many opportunities that FCA has to offer such as retreats and leadership camps.
¨I actually got saved at an FCA Retreat when I was a freshman,” said Morris. “I had been to church all my life, but at an FCA retreat is where it clicked, it was about a relationship, and not just going to church for religion and what my parents made me do. I also helped serve at some FCA retreats out of college as a leader and it was an awesome experience.¨
The club meetings will be on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:30 a.m.
¨The goal is to provide a positive outlet for them to come together, and hopefully leave strengthened and encouraged in being a brighter light for Christ in their schools and communities," said Morris.

Mrs. Marilyn Doan
4th Grade
East Washington Elementary School
I am thankful for my school and I have two reasons why…My first reason why I am thankful for my school is because, in case I am stuck on a math problem I can ask for help from a teacher. Teachers are there to teach and help us kids. My second reason why I am thankful for school is because, if I am having a bad day or if someone is mean to me I can talk to the school therapist and we can work things out. I know if we didn’t have school we wouldn’t have the friends, education and fun we have today. In conclusion, I am thankful for school because we get to learn things, make new friends and have fun! Those are the reasons that I am thankful for school.
-Fallon Dalton
I am thankful for the Marine Corps. I am thankful for the Marine Corps because they protect our country. Another reason I am thankful for the Marine Corps is because they fight for our freedom. I know that without the Marine Corps, we would not have freedom. So if you see a Marine, thank them!
-Nathan Pisut
I am thankful for my house. One reason I am thankful for my house is it gives me shelter. So my family won't be in some type of storm or something like that. Another reason I am thankful for my house is that it gives me space to put important stuff like food. My house is important to give us shelter because we can get sick. We obviously need somewhere to put our belongings or it will be all over the place. This shows I am thankful for my house!
-Layni Kennedy
I am so thankful for our veterans. I Thank you Veterans for what you did and what you still do. My first reason I'm thankful for Veterans is because our veterans risked their lives on the battlefield. My second reason that I am thankful is because is that we have won almost every battle, if not almost then we have won every battle, that's because our veterans see the battle before it happens. I know this great country would not still be here if it was not for our military. These are the reasons why I’m thankful for our Veterans!
-Knox Heath
I am thankful for my freedom. I am thankful for freedom because older women get to vote. My other reason is that I now have the right to run around and have fun. If I did not have freedom then a lot of people would not be able to vote or even become a slave for other people. In conclusion this is why we need freedom.
-Marlee Ruckman
I'm thankful for women's rights because women would not be able to vote if it wasn’t for our rights. I am also thankful for women's rights because they would not be in the army. I know that if we did not have this people would not see that women are strong. I also know that if we did not have women's rights the men would be above women. That is why I'm thankful for women's rights.
-Sadie Hoke
I am thankful for my parents. I am thankful for my parents because when I am hurt they help make me feel better. My second reason I am thankful for my parents is because they provide food for me and they love me. I know without them I wouldn't be able to survive and I wouldn't be happy! Without my parents' support, I wouldn’t be here, but they are always HERE for me!
-Bailey Marshall
I am thankful for God. My first reason I’m thankful for God is because if we didn't have God we wouldn't be made.Our whole entire existence wouldn't exist. My second reason I'm thankful for God is because he made the inventors who invented things we use today! God created the people who we love and know. He also created warriors who fight in wars for us. My third reason why I am thankful for God is because he died on the cross for us. That's why I am thankful for God!
-Starling Nice
I’m thankful for farmers. The first reason I'm thankful for farmers is that we wouldn't have food if it weren’t for them. My second reason I’m thankful for farmers is that a lot of people wouldn’t have jobs. I know that we wouldn’t have enough food if it weren't for the farmers . In conclusion, I am thankful for farmers! So if you see a farmer, please tell them thanks for what they do!
-Hunter Pugh
What I am thankful for is my family. Without them, I would not be loved. If I did not have a family that loved me, cared for me, and gave me confidence, I would not be where I am in life. I would not have the stuff I have today. Like if I lost a game of baseball and I was sad my family would help me overcome that sadness! I’m especially thankful for the almost 10 years that I had with my mother. She recently died from cancer and I wouldn’t trade the years we shared together for anything!
-Easton Nash
I am thankful for my parents. My first reason I am thankful for my parents is because without them I would not be able to take care of myself. My second reason I am thankful is because without my parents I would not have money for food and clothes. This is why I am thankful for my parents.
-Alexander Dolleris
I’m thankful for education. My first reason is we have ovens and we can create fire with education. We can cook food with education and make great meals like we have burgers, hotdogs, french fries, and tacos. Those are all good foods but we made all of that with education. We had the idea of a way to cook food with a button and a switch to cook it and the idea of the food. My second reason is with education we have scarfs, jackets, blankets, and all sorts of stuff to keep us warm and we make all of it with education and good sewing and other stuff but education. Without education we wouldn't have nearly everything humans made, nearly because we could drop a bunch of sticks then somehow make a fire like the sun could reflect and only hit the pile of sticks then fire. That's all the reasons I'm thankful for education.
-Samuel Sessions
I’m thankful for my cat, Rosemary. I cannot live without her. My first reason that I'm thankful for Rosemary is that I can't sleep without her. She helps me to stay calm. My second reason that I'm thankful for Rosemary is that she is SO funny. I love all the little crazy things she does that makes me laugh. I know that I cannot live without her, she provides me with so much joy even though she's only a cat, she keeps me calm!
-Lola Hertel
I'm thankful for my parents. My first reason I’m thankful for my parents is because they support me in every way. For example, when I make a decision they support. My second reason I’m thankful for my parents is they protect me when danger is near me. I know without my parents I would not be here today!
-Keegan Bowlin
I am thankful for Veterans. I thank them for their service and what they have done for our country and for our freedoms. I couldn't do what they do for our country. I'm also thankful for the many people who have served in the military. I honor them! I literally couldn’t handle all that stress. However, I’m thankful for this country and the Veterans for their service!
-Samson Risen
I am thankful for the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Army. My first reason that I'm thankful for the Military is because if we did not have them then we could not fight or get our land back if it were stolen. My second reason I'm thankful for the Military is because we would not have our freedoms that we do in America if we did not have the military! I am thankful for the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Army! Please let the military know how proud you are of them!
-Alysse Johanningsmeier
I am thankful for my friends and family. My first reason is I know I would not have a school. My second reason is I know I would not have a home. This proves that I am thankful for a lot of things. Lukas Smith
I am thankful for my mom. The first reason that I’m thankful for my mom is that she gives me shelter to live under and she gave birth to me. If I didn’t have my mom I would not have shelter to live under, and if I didn’t have her I wouldn't be alive. Those are the reasons I am thankful for my mom. My mom gives shelter to live under and she gave me life! Thank You Mom!
-Averee Odum
I am thankful for my school. My first reason I'm thankful for my school is because if we did not have it we would not be able to learn a lot of things. My second reason I'm thankful for school is because when we are adults we would not know how to pay bills by using math skills. Or if you see words you will not be able to read what it says without knowing how to read. I’m thankful for school because if we did not have school we would not be able to do a lot of things.
-Marilyn Hughes
I am thankful for my mom and dad. My first reason I’m thankful for my mom and dad is if it were not for my mom I would not be writing this right now. My second reason I am thankful for my mom and dad is if it were not for my dad I would not be able to fish, hunt and I would not have a name. I know without my mom and my dad I would not be here and I would not have a name.
-Elijah Gibson
I am thankful for the country I live in and its freedom. I am thankful for the country I live in and its freedom because if the country didn't exist, we wouldn't have as much freedom that we have today.People would be treated poorly as well. I'm also thankful for my family and friends. I'm thankful for my family and friends because I know some people don't have parents to rely on and that fake friends are in this kind, but cruel world. Another thing I'm thankful for is my creative mindset. I'm thankful for my creative mindset because I get stressed out easily and when I draw, I calm down a lot quicker.
-Adalee Brough
I am thankful for life because without life we would not be alive to see this amazing world. The first reason I am thankful for life is because we would not be alive without life, this is because we won't have oxygen to breath and there won’t be fruits or vegetables. My second reason I am thankful for life is because animals are important and without life herbivores won’t have any plants to eat. I know that if life was not a thing, all herbivores would die and we would also die without oxygen. In conclusion, I am thankful for life because all animals would die just like how we would due to no oxygen, and food.
-Mason Farnsley
I am thankful for my freedom. My first reason I am thankful for my freedom is people worked hard and people died for our freedom. My second reason I am thankful for my freedom is when we were in England we had no freedom. Now in America we have our freedom we deserve. I know if we didn’t have our freedom we would not have our home in America. In conclusion, this is why I am thankful for my freedom!
-Lucas Worrall
I am thankful for my mom because she feeds me Mac N’ Cheese, sandwiches, and a lot more. My second reason I’m thankful for my mom is because whenever I’m stressed over something, she calms me down. My third reason I’m thankful for my mom is because whenever my bed looks bad she cleans it. In conclusion, I am thankful for my mom because she is the BEST!
-Axel Gilstrap
I'm thankful for my mom because if I did not have my mom then I would not be here. I'm thankful for my mom because she gives me food, internet, shelter, drinks, and love so this is why I am thankful for my mom!
