Endowment Fund In 1995,
the Development Council and the School Board agreed that we needed
to establish an Endowment Fund. An Endowment Fund is one in which
monies are donated and the capital is invested. We did not want to
become so focused on the day-to-day operation that we would overlook
the future. We wanted to provide a way in which an individual could
give a gift that would go on giving well beyond his own life. The
monies are invested through the well established Southwest Florida
Community Foundation. The foundation is comprised of community
leaders throughout Southwest Florida. A memorial plaque will be on
display in the school in order to recognize the gifts given in
memory of a loved one.

David
Benton Scholar-Athlete Award The 1987 yearbook was dedicated to
the memory of David M. Benton. David passed away during the summer,
after his junior year in high school (1987). He was a member of the
National Honor Society, starter for the varsity basketball team, had
a love for baseball, and was scored very high in his academics. Of
the many things for which he is remembered, it is his love for Jesus
that he would want us to look back on and remember the most. Since
the 1995-96 school year, Fort Myers Christian School offers a
half-tuition scholarship (for the following school year) to the top
male and female athlete based on specific performance criteria in
athletic, academic and spiritual categories during the current
school year. This award is voted on by the coaches and approved by
the administration. It is presented on awards day on the last day of
school.

Grandma Betty Scholarship Elizabeth
Defebio was the grandmother of two former FMCS students, Audrey and
Kelly Reese. Both of these students were very active in sports and
music at FMCS. Their Grandma Betty passed away in October of 1998.
She was also very active at FMCS with her consistent attendance at
the girls sporting and music events. She touched people from all
walks of life, and her memory will live on as one middle school
student receives this scholarship award of $1200 every year. The
student will be selected by the FMCS teachers and administration.
Their decision is based on Christian walk, academic achievement and
service to the community.

Joe
Buncie Band Scholarship (Fine Arts) Our school suffered a great loss in
August of 2004 when our band teacher of eight years, Mr. Joe Buncie,
died unexpectedly in his sleep. A scholarship program has been
established in his name to help students afford instruments and help
pay for fees associated with the Newsome Music band program.

area will help us update the hardware systems for our students so
