The senior high hand bell ensemble from Fairview Christian Academy took first place at the American Association of Christian Schools’ National Fine Arts Competition. Ten teams representing the best ringers from ten states came to compete and the competition was fierce. Our students gave an outstanding performance and came away with the top honor. The team is composed of Gabe Gerdt (Senior), Whitney Boggs (Senior), Bonnie Gerdt (Junior), and Mandi Reynolds (Junior) and is led by Mrs. Jan Reynolds. These students have put in hours upon hours of practice over the past months to get to this point and truly deserve this honor. Special thanks goes to Mrs. Reynolds for her tireless work with the bells program over the past few years. It has been a labor of love and takes an enormous amount of time. FCA also thanks Mr. Gary Bynum, a member of the Chattanooga Metropolitan Ringers, for working with the students and for travelling many miles to see them perform at competition.
