Upper Elementary (3-5)

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!

Ms. Debbie Boodram joined the FCS faculty in the fall of 2020 and has lived in the classroom in Trinidad and here in Queens for over 20 years. She is actively involved with her family in a local church ministry. Since she loves rearranging her house, her students should expect interior design changes in their classrooms! They should also be prepared for a fresh Thanksgiving feast!

Arriving in Spring 2024, Ms. Dixon started out assisting with the 2nd grade class for a few months and is now serving as our 5th grade teacher. Ms. Dixon studied Bible and Theology at Alliance University (Nyack College) and loves incorporating biblical truths throughout each lesson taught, pointing her class to hear and know God's voice. Fun fact, her dad attended FCS way back in the 70s. Outside of being in the classroom, she enjoys going on bike riding adventures and playing her guitar. 

Mrs. Sager leads our art classes and contributes to our seasonal concerts. Beginning in 2007, she has served as both a kindergarten teacher and our music/art teacher. She and her husband (the pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Franklin Square) have been blessed with four children and a growing number of grandchildren. If she is not actively involved in church, school, or family activities, she can be found relaxing along the south shore of Long Island.

Mrs. Salas joined the FCS team in the fall of 2021 after teaching in the public school classroom for 14 years. As a deep thinker and avid blogger, she is thrilled to teach in a Christian environment. She grew up in Ecuador, and she brings her rich cultural background into the Spanish classroom.
