Nassau County School District has many exciting events happening on our campuses. Look at the collection of stories around our county.

Fernandina Beach Middle School International Club members learn basic facts about a featured country: where in the world it is located, discuss its unique customs and traditions, try its food if and when possible, etc. We meet every Thursday after school for one and a half hours. A guest speaker is featured when possible, but the members usually research an assigned topic about the featured country and report on it.
Mrs. Szrimai is hosting or sponsoring the International Club after school; on Jan. 12th, she tapped on one staff member (and parent) at their school- Mr. John Langager- to speak about Japan, the featured country. Mr. Langager grew up in Japan when his parents lived there as missionaries in the early 1950s.

Third-grade students at Wildlight Elementary created a trail mix using improper fractions. They had to first create the batch by determining which measuring tool they’d need, and the improper fraction had to be turned into a mixed number!

After learning all about winter and snow, the pre-K classes at Hilliard Elementary made some snow of their own! A mixture of baking soda and shaving cream created a fun, cold snow-like creation. The students even took their snow home to share with their families!

Nicholas Emerson, Yulee High School senior, won the Rotary Oratorical Competition for Nassau County on Jan. 14th. As the first-place contestant, he won $500 and is one of the six regional finalists who will compete for $5000 on Feb. 17th. Outstanding work, Nicholas!
