Fremont Debate Academy (FDA), a 501 © (3) non-profit organization, will be running its 3rd annual Mission Valley Debate program. It will be led by Mission Valley teacher Ms. Carson & HS student co-lead Sophie Le. This program is only for 4th & 5th graders and is running as part of an official partnership with Fremont Unified School District.
