Fathers, Faith, & Frederica (FF&F): FRIDAY
|
|
Fathers, Faith, & Frederica, or FF&F, meets every Friday morning when students are in school (no kids, no meeting). We are a simple group. We are Fathers of current or past Frederica students. We are men of faith. We have a deep attachment to Frederica Academy. As one would expect, we talk about these three topics: being fathers; being men of faith; and Frederica Academy, extensively.
This semester, we are doing a nine-week study on leadership: What it is, why it is important, and how can we all become better leaders. This study begins on Friday, August 31.
FF&F meets in the Athletic Conference Room near the gym doors opposite Hamilton Hall. We meet from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m., again, every Friday when students are in school. For more information, please contact me at [email protected]. There is no need to RSVP, just simply drop in to join us.
Oh, we also talk about college football and fishing (among other things).

| Fourth Grade Music Class Cup Game Song |
|
 Fourth grade students began the new school year in Ms. Shelton's music class with a cup game to the song, Turn the Beat Around by Gloria Estefan.
Click HERE to watch a video of the Fourth Grade performance.
Students played and counted rhythms, reviewed rests in music, and studied music history as they learned about 1994, the year the song was released. They also expanded their musical vocabulary as Mrs. Shelton talked about tempo, form, and explored what classifies something as a percussion instrument. The students and Ms. Shelton had a blast playing an unusual instrument with rhythm sticks and a plastic cup!
