The Gator Gazette

Gator Greetings
We had our last Gator Gathering of the semester this afternoon. It was our first one inside and students got to move around the school to join their different Gator Packs and share team building activities together. Be sure to ask your child about their Gator Pack experience today! Due to our kindergarten addition on the east side, we have a new traffic pattern starting Monday. The bus loading zone will move to the west lot. The car rider line will still wrap around the back but will now release students on the front sidewalk to enter in through the front doors. Caregivers will make a U-turn to exit the parking lot. This will hopefully allow for a faster unloading zone. Please look for more detailed information in the Gazette if you transport students via car to school every day.
I would like to thank everyone who donated items during the PTO’s Gator Giving Drive in November. Essential items like toilet paper, paper towels, toiletries, socks, and clothing for the clinic closet will go to help families in our school community that have extra needs this winter. Additionally, the AV Community Care Club (CCC) was able to collect over $500 to donate to Crooked Creek Food Pantry from their Turkey Gram sales. Thanks to all who supported this cause. The CCC will be sponsoring a Canned Food Drive during the month of December. Look for more information in the Gazette soon! Kindergarten will also be holding a Holiday Bazaar where students will sell items they have made to other students and donate all proceeds to Circle City Relief, a non-profit that helps homeless families in the area. In this time of giving, we are proud of all the thoughtfulness that our school provides to those in need right here in our own community. If your family needs assistance this holiday season, please reach out to our school social worker, Miss Williamson.
We Are The Gators! WE ARE AV!
