Mrs.House’s class won the ice cream treat party for the highest student participation for turning in a “recycle art project”.
Gators recycled 24 ink toners, 8 pairs of tennis shoes, and 4 pairs of soccer cleats.
Gators turned in 26 fun facts and many Gators made pledges to recycle, save water and or electricity.
Thanks also to Robin Van Noy for organizing our activities for this week!

Gator Games
Here's a link to sign up to volunteer for Gator Games this year:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0d4bacaa2ba64-gator1
We need volunteers to help with a variety of activities, including set-up, refreshing water stations, serving lunch, and numerous other assorted tasks, and then clean-up. If you sign up for a time slot, please meet and gather, at your appropriate time, in the school lobby area (outside of the cafeteria doors) to receive your assignments.
We also need volunteers to donate small bottled Gatorade (12 ounces). These can be brought to school anytime between now and the games and may be left in the school lobby area. Please label your bottles "Gator Games."
Please consider giving an hour of your time to help make this event possible. As always, thank you for your generosity. We couldn't do anything without you!
If you have any questions, feel free to call/email/text Jenn Towery!
