Campus Department

Looking After the Small Things.

Most of the departments at Fountainview Academy have specific areas of responsibility. However, some things do not fit into any of these particular areas. This is where the Campus Department comes in.

The Campus Department cans fruit in autumn, provides firewood and sands icy roads in winter, prunes trees in spring, and mows orchards and lawns in summer. All year round they take care of garbage and compost, wash vehicles, and in general are kept very busy doing all the odds and ends that just need to get done.

Students working in this department learn to always be looking for something to do.  “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9: 10) is the principle here. In this department, it’s the little things that count, the things that are typically taken for granted.
