House Happenings
A "veteran" from the French and Indian War visited with Mr. Moore's classes this week. He was quite the character.
Our Robotics team is at the World Championship Competition in Houston. We are so proud of their work and send them best wishes as they compete.
Today, our school rallied around our Special Olympic friends and created a human tunnel in front of the school showing our support for these students. It was a great day to be a Gator! So proud of our students and their hearts for each other.
