A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
It is hard to believe that we are finishing up our 4th week of this 3rd 9 weeks grading period; the time is simply flying by and it will be summer before we know it. What a wonderful time we had last Friday at Family Basketball Night! Many, many thanks to Coach Rick Greene and the hard-working members of the Booster Club who helped to sponsor this event. We had several alumni visit and the 8th grade-Faculty game was a great way to finish the evening.
I am looking forward to seeing you next Friday afternoon at our annual Krewe of Zoo Pep Rally. This is a highlight of our year, and our Kindergarten classes are ready to go all out with their costumes, throws, and floats. Please come and enjoy the madness!
The start of the second semester marks the time for the reenrollment process to begin. You should have received your packets in the mail this week; please call the office if you have questions or concerns. Baseball and softball practice has started in earnest, and games will begin within the next week or so. I'm looking forward to watching our Gators in action!
Warmly,
Dr. Beth J. Ricks
Head of School
