Frederica Academy is collecting clothes your family has outgrown for its annual Back-to-School Clothing Drive. Bookbags, shoes, and belts are always in high demand. The drive will take place on Monday and Tuesday in front of the  Administration Building.

We collect items for all ages and sizes for  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!

Rising seventh grader Max Crusan (Class of 2024) and his dad, Keith, spent part of their summer on a mission trip to Chimbote, Peru.

We want to hear how other FA students and families spent their summer break. Please click HERE to email photos, captions, and stories about your summer adventures.

Here are a few more photos taken during the trip Max and his dad took to Peru:

During their trip, Max and Mr. Crusan helped build three houses; donated furniture, clothes and other supplies to the new homeowners; and watched Padre Elmer bless the new homes. They took families to the beach and fed them lunch. Max was able to provide toys for all of the children they met using money he had raised before the trip. He also provided scholarship funds for girls to join a volleyball club they helped establish during their trip. A highlight of the trip was a futbol game against Peruvian soccer players.

Three members of Frederica Academy's Class of 2021 also traveled to Peru this summer: Maddison Moore, Lauren Jobe, and  Madysson Patron. Before they departed, they stopped by school to collect a vintage Frederica Academy flag to chronicle their Peruvian experience as Frederica ambassadors.
