Theresea Wickstrom, mother<br />
of FSPA Academy rising junior<br />
Susauna Wickstrom says, “It is a<br />
sigh of relief to have a designated<br />
space for my daughter. It promotes<br />
the importance of school,<br />
getting out of the home, and<br />
it keeps a routine going. She’s<br />
coming to a place that’s safe,<br />
not just physically, but emotionally.”<br />
They also benefit from the<br />
larger student body of FSPA and<br />
participate in social activities including<br />
student productions and<br />
the annual Prom. FSPA Director<br />
Raye Lynn Mercer comments,<br />
“A lot of students are looking<br />
for academic alternatives, and<br />
these 11 students are here for 11<br />
unique reasons.”<br />
