We loved hosting Kidokinetics Camp this week for our Rising K5–3rd graders! Through fun, engaging sports activities, campers built confidence, teamwork, character, and a lifelong love of movement and play.

Volleyball Camp is underway! 🏐 Our future Crusaders are learning proper fundamentals, building friendships, and having a blast alongside Coach Ryan Godsey, Julia Harris, current players, and alumni. We love seeing these young athletes grow both on and off the court!

Our K5 Celebration was such a special time! These students worked incredibly hard throughout the year, and we were thrilled to welcome our FPA families as we celebrated all the amazing accomplishments, growth, and achievements of this wonderful group. We are so proud of each student and can’t wait to see all they continue to achieve in the years ahead!

The first Crusader Baseball Clinic of the summer is officially in the books! What a great day of instruction, competition, and fun as our young athletes worked on their skills, learned from coaches, and continued building the foundation of baseball.

Thank you to all of the players, coaches, and families who made today a success. We loved seeing the energy, effort, and enthusiasm on the field!

Our 5th Grade students are going to be greatly missed in the Lower School! This group has been one of the most encouraging, enthusiastic, and supportive classes. They consistently cheer one another on, celebrate each other’s successes, and bring such positive energy to our school community. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished this year and the growth they have shown along the way.

As they take the next step into Middle School, we know they will continue to thrive, lead, and make a difference. We can’t wait to see all that the future holds for them!

Be a Host Family! We need 7 families!!!

It is that time of year where we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus and begin to make plans to welcome international exchange students into our homes this fall. This coming school year we have to find seven host families! This is a true testimony to the school and the community we have created here. Our exchange students are going to their home countries and sharing their experiences with friends and family and students are seeking us out. This will be an exciting challenge! Our goal is to have our students placed before summer starts.

Critter Keeper recently visited Mary Lane’s K5 class, and the students had an unforgettable experience! He brought along all kinds of critters, and the room was filled with laughter, excitement, and a few squeals as the children met the animals up close.

The students loved holding some of the critters and learning about them, while a few of the more unusual animals made everyone squirm a little! It was a fun and engaging hands-on learning experience that the students will be talking about for a long time.

The Class Day walk-through is one of our favorite traditions. Students walk the halls to cheers, high fives, and a few tears from friends and former teachers. It is truly a celebration of our students.

This class will soon be spread from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, to Howard University in Washington, D.C.—from coast to coast, but always Crusaders.

Join us in praying for this amazing group of graduates as they leave FPA and go take Jesus into the world. We are proud of who they are, excited for who they are becoming, and grateful they will always be part of the FPA family.
