Lunch, Your Way ☀️
When you think about the perfect place to eat, is it at a picnic table, on a rooftop, or tucked away in the garden?
At Fayette Street Academy, lunchtime is more than just munch time. It's a chance to unwind, connect with friends, share stories, or simply enjoy a quiet moment alone before the next adventure begins.
Off to the Races 🌳
And with a burst of energy, they're off and running! From the bench to the big tree became the race of the day, with eager runners sprinting, laughing, and giving it their all.
Sometimes learning looks like movement, momentum, and pure childhood joy.

Movement is energy, and these kiddos have plenty of it! As they get ready for the Poetry Recital at el Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, you'll find them stretching, laughing, balancing, bouncing, and moving in ways you might not expect.
At Fayette Street Academy, we know that active bodies help create focused minds when it's time to step on stage.

Nature Detectives 🌼
Collecting local flowers, leaves, and seeds is more than just a walk outside, it's a hands-on lesson in observation, identification, and appreciation for the natural world.
When students can touch, examine, and explore what they're learning, nature becomes their classroom.
