Lower Elementary (K-2)

Mrs. Jessica Fiore joined the school in fall of 2020 with both a recently earned master's degree and also 6 years experience as a teacher's assistant. Whether helping children explore God's creation with hands-on activities or pushing them to overcome challenges, Mrs. Fiore clearly lives out her calling. She was married just this past November - congratulations!

Since fall 2021, Mrs. Elisa Zou has led the first grade classroom. Originally from Washington State, she enjoys sightseeing with Jiuen, her husband and welcomed daughter Jada in the fall of 2022. Prior to joining FCS, Mrs. Zou had four years' experience educating young children. She actively serves with Blueprint Ministries.

Ms. Pitman has a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and will step in when Mrs. Zou (the main classroom teacher) goes on maternity leave. Interestingly, she learned about FCS while attending church services in our own school building!

Ms. Melissa Combs comes with several years’ experience working with young children. She has already interacted with our school when they visited McGoldrick Library, her former employer. Ms. Combs will be assisting the first grade. If she is not hiking with her family, she is likely playing ultimate frisbee barefoot!

Ms. Lucy Calma has been teaching 2nd grade at FCS since 2020, following over 20 years' experience in the education field. Born in Italy ("My name could be pronounced LuCHEEa"), Ms. Calma exhibits the dynamic personality needed to connect with lively students, if only they can keep up!
