Dear Middle School Students and Parents,

I can't believe that the end of the school year is already upon us!  This has been an amazing year and we are thrilled to conclude the school year with a Closing Ceremony to be held in the Strickland Auditorium located at Epworth by the Sea on Friday, May 25, 2018, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Click HERE for more details.

The Eighth Grade rehearsal for the Closing Ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 24, 2018, at 11:15 a.m. (directly following the History exam). Students will either be transported by Frederica Academy buses or will walk to Epworth depending on bus availability.

Click HERE for the permission slip for traveling to and from Epworth by the Sea and have it signed, dated, and returned to Mrs. Toomey by Wednesday, May 23, 2018.

The Middle School Faculty and I sincerely look forward to seeing you and your families on this very special day. 

 

As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  

 

Mrs. Toomey

Middle School Director

This summer, while you are cleaning out the clothes your children have outgrown (again), please consider bagging them and putting them aside for Frederica Academy's Back-to-School Clothing Drive. Bookbags, shoes, and belts are always in high demand. This drive is held in August and provides clothing to several children's service organizations in our area.  We take items for all ages and sizes.  

 

Last year, we provided clothing to Safe Harbor, Communities in Schools, and Morningstar. The staff at Safe Harbor report that the clothes they get from this drive are of high quality, and their residents wear them with confidence. The drive is coordinated by Frederica's Community Service Club and helps to kick off a great year of giving back!  

 

Thanks for helping us have another super successful clothing drive.  More details will follow in future emails, but feel free to contact Catherine Squire at [email protected] if any immediate questions arise.  

 

As we bring this exciting school year to a close, I am so thankful to everyone who was a vital part of our Fine Arts Music Program.

 

This information is for all of our 7th, 8th, and Upper School Band students. Please click HERE to explore renting your favorite band instrument. It is not expensive. City Music will repair any problems you have with your instrument as part of your maintenance agreement. 

 

Our new 6th Grade Band students will learn on our existing instruments.

 

Band Camp information will be  disseminated very shortly.

 

If you are interested in taking private lessons over the summer for your instrument, please click HERE to let me know via email. Miss Shelton will be helping with private lessons as well.

 

I am so proud of you and how far you have come musically in just a short year.

Georgia Southern students Ben Cork (violinist) and William Page (cellist) gave a master class to Miss Shelton's Fourth Grade violin class on Thursday. Students were able to see and hear them play famous classical pieces by Mozart and Bach as well hear the violin played like a fiddle. Students also heard Frederica Upper School students Evyn Lundy and Zhane Waye play a beautiful duet accompanied by Mr. Smith on the piano. After these performances, the Fourth Grade students were able to play Auld Lang Syne, a song they have been working on with Ben and William, which was a special treat. Thank you to the Golden Isles Youth Orchestra (GIYO) for making this wonderful experience possible!

The Fifth Grade hosted the Hall of Presidents Wax Museum this week. Each student independently researched an assigned United States President and wrote a biographical speech about him. The speeches were memorized, the costumes gathered and Fifth G rade was ready to shine. With Hamilton Hall serving as the Presidential Portrait Gallery, family and friends gathered to share in the fun.

Our last special reader for the year was someone the children know well and love dearly! Mollie Temples asked our very own Mrs. Ackerman to bless our class with a couple of books! Although the children LOVED learning about the sea and sailing adventures in Salty Dog, they were just as thrilled to spend this time with Mrs. Ackerman! It continues to ALWAYS be a great day in Kindergarten at FA!
