Our toddlers, twos and prek students had a great time at today's Teddy Bear Picnics with Mrs. Marcy! 🧸 From sharing which stuffed animal they brought to enjoying Chick-fil-A and songs, these picnics were too much fun.

Thank you to the parents for supporting FBA and purchasing a ticket to this experience in our Warriors on the Green Silent Auction!

Our head of school, Mrs. Chambers, surprised one of our first grade classes with a special holiday visit this week! 🎄 She read "The Legend of the Candy Cane" by Lori Walburg and brought a candy cane treat for each student. What a fun Christmas surprise for these first graders!

Yesterday, we celebrated our newest junior thespians at the induction ceremony for First Baptist Academy Troupe 12878, a chartered member of the International Thespian Society. Founded in 1929, the society is the only organization that honors middle school students for outstanding work in theatre, focusing on students, their achievements and aims to provide access to quality theatre arts instruction.

Induction into the International Thespian Society is the highest honor a theatre student can earn. We are proud of our seventh and eighth grade inductees for their leadership and dedication to the arts.

Book Fair Family Night brought our community together earlier this week during our Space City Reads Book Fair, and we were excited to see a few alumni join us. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior!

This fall, the First Baptist Academy community came together to support the Houston’s First Faith Centers through our Warriors Serve Food Drive. Students, families, faculty and staff joined in a schoolwide effort to collect nonperishable food items, canned goods and non-food essentials for those in need, ultimately gathering 25,743 items to help stock the Faith Centers’ shelves.

As the culmination of our 'Known and Loved' emphasis month, this initiative allowed students to focus on the truth that we are fully known and deeply loved by God, and the calling to know and love others. Classrooms were assigned specific items to encourage participation, and throughout the drive, students learned about food insecurity and the impact of serving their community. Overflowing bins across campus reflected not only generosity but also the heart of a school eager to live out its faith in action.

We were grateful for the opportunity to partner with Houston's First Baptist Church - The Loop and support the ongoing ministry of the Faith Centers. This Warriors Serve initiative also aligns with our theme for the year, We Are So We Do, as our students and families responded to who we are in Christ by serving others with compassion and joy.
