ABOUT THE STEVEN FARINA MEMORIAL FUND
The Steven Farina Memorial Fund was established in 2008 as a way to give back to the students, families, staff and board members at American Christian School for their love, support and generosity towards our family when our youngest son Steven suddenly passed away.
The self-less actions displayed towards us by our school family during this difficult time touched our hearts in such a way that we knew we were among Gods people. We also knew we could never express how grateful and thankful we were for everything that was done for us, but wanted to in some way.
With much prayer and a desire to bless those who have blessed us, the Steven Farina Memorial Fund was created. We knew that our son would never have the opportunity to physically be a part of this sweet school but in honor of his memory, we could raise funds to contribute financially to the growth of a place where other children could, including our three boys Daniel, Jared and Joseph.
We believe in the importance of Christian education and the significance of this fund, exclusive to the American Christian School. Because the needs of this organization will vary, we have not limited this fund to any one specific program.
100% of your donation goes directly into the fund to be used to benefit the chosen project. Please consider joining us in our efforts to help make this school everything God has called it to be while having an impact on generations of children learning how to excel academically for Christ.
Sincerely, Marlana and Joseph Farina, Founders

PS: To date, the fund has aided in establishing the following:
-  A sports club with necessary athletic equipment for the children
-  The purchasing of an official soccer goal and nets
-  Team jerseys have been acquired
-  Coaches and assistants have been compensated
Currently, we are looking to distribute the funds towards the school's Campus Beautification Project, an effort to restore and improve the school grounds, including the sports and play areas that were damaged from the big storms in 2011, by:
-  Establishing a playground and courtyard area
-  Providing picnic tables and benches
-  Painting murals
-  Creating designated areas for various sports such as volleyball, track, basketball, etc.
-  Enhancing the existing landscape with trees, bushes and flowers

American Christian School proudly utilizes the “classical Christian curriculum.” Christian schools nationwide have produced outstanding results by teaching children the timeless skills of thinking, reasoning, logic and expression. From the ancient Greeks to America's founding fathers and through the late-19th century, classical education has produced the greatest thinkers, leaders and scientists in the Western world. Classical Christian education succeeds by complementing a child’s developmental phase with the appropriate teaching method.
This approach follows a three-part pattern: The mind must be supplied with facts; provided the logical tools for organizing facts; equipped to express conclusions.
The classical curriculum focuses on the way children learn best at each stage of development, challenging students and nurturing a love of learning. Small class sizes allow for critical one-on-one interaction and successful integration of new students. A culture of inspiration, fulfillment, joy and respect is evident throughout the campus.
