  FAA Pillars

Dear FAA Family,


This week marks the second week of Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. This habit focuses on renewing our body, mind, and spirit. Our scholars are learning the importance of taking care of themselves by getting enough rest, exercising, and eating nutritious foods. We encourage them to avoid processed foods and unhealthy snacks to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Read-A-Thon Update

The Read-A-Thon officially ended last week, and after the final tally, the 8th grade was declared the winner, logging an impressive 32.7 hours of reading throughout the month! 4th grade came in second with 23.5 hours, followed by 6B in third place with 20 hours. A special thank you to all scholars who participated—your dedication to reading is truly commendable! Congratulations to 8th grade for a job well done! They will celebrate with a Pizza Party on Friday, March 14th.

One School Building Update

We are pleased to share that on February 24, 2024, the school board unanimously voted to transition FAA into one building beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. We look forward to this exciting new chapter for our school community!
