PICTURE RETAKE DAY-Thursday, OCTOBER 27, 2022
Picture Retake Day will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2022, for the following students:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and our IB Ambassadors were back at work raising money for a local cause with a special wear pink dress-down day held today.
This month, all funds raised will be donated to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation. Their mission is dedicated to ending the suffering caused by breast cancer through Research, Education, Advocacy & Direct Services.
As of the start of school today, we've raised $2345!
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the following families for their generosity in sponsoring their entire classes:
- Carol and Richard Fiore & Garret and Marisa Severen who sponsored both Ms. DeSimone & Ms. Koskan's classes. Carol is a recent breast cancer survivor and the grandmother to Devyn & Logan Severen.
- Jessica Decker & Patrick Callen who sponsored Mr. Speiller's class. Lily Callen's grandmother, also known as Go-Go and Aunt Kelly, was lucky enough to have wonderful doctors and great support groups around her. The Callen family is paying it forward to the doctors and hoping this helps one of our students' family members someday.
- Ms. Cindy Brooks, a first-grade teacher at our school, sponsored her entire class!
- Terry & Gleni Drummey sponsored their daughter Amalia's classes taught by Ms. Taylor & Ms. Powell. They were joined by the Yilmaz family, who sponsored the same classes for their daughter, Arya.
- The Moir family sponsored Ms. Hanza's class for their son, Max.
- Mary Martin sponsored Ms. Oliver's class for her daughter, Skylar Loder.
This fundraiser will remain open throughout the weekend if you'd like to contribute to this special cause. Click here to donate.
