FSA ANNUAL SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR 

On Friday, December 7th FSA held its annual Social Studies Fair. The projects on display were selected from each social studies class and showed a wide range of subjects across the different social science disciplines.
From the 24 projects that made it to the FSA school fair, one has been selected to represent FSA at the Georgia Social Studies Fair this spring: sixth grader Christian Lane with his project, “How did the discovery of gold affect the Cherokee Indians?”
On behalf of Mrs. Bragg, Mrs. Campbell, and Mr. Stiffler, thank you to all of the students that participated in the Social Studies Fair this year. There were so many excellent projects, making the selection process for FSA representatives particularly difficult. Congratulations to all of our students and best of luck to those that will participate in the state fair early next semester.

FSA STUDENTS ENJOYED A WONDERFUL TRIP TO GEORGIA AQUARIUM 

On Tuesday, December 4th, the FSA Middle School students and teachers traveled down to the Georgia Aquarium for a day filled with aquatic investigation and discovery! They participated in the Instructor-Led Program titled “Sharks In-Depth” in the Education Loop.  Everyone enjoyed a backstage tour, hands-on experiences, and focused learning opportunities all about sharks!
Students also viewed a 3-D movie, the “Dolphin Tale” show, and had unlimited access to the aquarium.  Students split up into groups of 9-10 with their Group Leaders and explored the exhibits, the play area, and the touch tanks.  One of the most popular (and more recently opened) exhibits was “Frogs-A Chorus of Colors.” Students examined the visually stunning live frogs, activated recorded frog calls, and enjoyed operating a simulated frog dissection booth.
