Fayetteville St School has a wonderful staff that cares about the students. They are there to make sure our children who eventually become their children make it. Letting each one of them know that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to do. They are somebody. I enjoyed my grandson coming to this wonderful school. The spirit that is there must have spoiled over from when I was there, because they teachers wanted us to know that each one of us they were proud of.
