Our students and staff showed off their school spirit for National College Colors Day by wearing gear from their favorite colleges and universities! From near to far, big schools to small—what a fun way to celebrate future dreams and higher education pride. 🐊

Our Gators didn’t take a break from reading this summer—they crushed their AR goals! To celebrate, they enjoyed a sweet ice cream sundae party. Way to go, readers! We’re so proud of you!

Ms. Maggie’s Kindergarteners have been busy exploring RHYMING words with their partners! From “cat” and “hat” to “sun” and “fun,” our little learners are giggling, learning, and growing together. Partner work makes learning even more engaging—and these kinders are proving that teamwork + wordplay = success!
