season. Varsity boys soccer made it to the championship. FA’s recently hosted a band concert
on November 28. Thank you to all who supported our music program. Basketball and swim
team started their season team practices. Our first boys varsity basketball game of the season
will be November 20th at home against Freedom Christian. The first game for middle school
boys basketball will be 11/12. Professional Development Day was held on 10/23 with a state
development conference for the teachers who chose to attend. Some teachers chose to stay on
campus with their studies for Professional Development Day. Teachers have a yearly budget on
furthering their continuing education. Halloween carnival that was put on by the SGA and
other clubs/classes was a success with over $2500 raised. FA families as well as outside
families came and enjoyed the carnival which helps boost the funds raised by the SGA and
other FA clubs/classes. Sunday, 11/1 was the Maggie Lee Race where over 110 people
registered for the event. Over $2000 was raised and the proceeds go toward organ transplant
research. Veterans Day assembly is planned for 11/10. No school for students, teachers, staff
on 11/11 in recognition of Veterans Day. Texas Roadhouse will have Fayetteville Academy
Spirit Night on Tuesday, November 10, 2015. 10% of all sales will go to FA if you mention
“Fayetteville Academy” to your server. During the Thanksgiving Assembly 11/24 each class will
donate food collected for TC Berrien Elementary. Each class has an assigned item to bring in.
Alumni basketball games will be at FA that night. We will also have the Athletic Hall of Fame
induction ceremony. This is a 2 year completed renovation. The AAA Campaign (Academics,
Arts & Athletics) is now in the quiet stages of the fundraising. This is a 5 year plan to raise
funds for the 3 A’s.

Head of LS Report, Keith Blades: Halloween week was a successful one. We will have our

October. Family movie night is planned for November 13th. Please be seated on the lower
school lawn by 545. We are planning a spring movie night, but FA will need a sponsor or cosponsor to host this event. FA has received one estimate of $5000-$7000on the shading for the
