Hello! My name is Heather Redinger, and I am the 6
th grade teacher here at FAA. I am passionate about learning and believe every child has the potential for success and the capability of greatness. I am excited to have the opportunity to work alongside the FAA scholars and support them in their pursuit of finding personal success and growth.

WOW!!! WHAT A TURN OUT FOR THE DADDIES & DONUTS "FAMILY INVOLVEMENT MEETING."
THIS WAS THE LARGEST ATTENDANCE FOR FAA.
The "Family Involvement & Community Collaboration Team" wanted to highlight, appreciate and encourage fathers and father figures thus Daddies & Donuts. We also wanted to let them know how important they are in the lives of the children. Community members such as Oscar Reed (former NFL player), Rep. Jeremiah Ellison and Leavon Fields (Freedom School Director) gave inspirational words and FAA choir and FAA steppers performed as well. Over 200 in attendance! *to view more fun pictures of this event go to our facebook and enjoy*
