Today our students joined millions across the nation for The Great American ShakeOut! They practiced how to Drop, Cover, and Hold On to stay safe during an earthquake drill. Safety is always a top priority, and our students did an awesome job following directions and taking the drill seriously. Way to go, Gators, for being prepared and ready for anything!

October is National Principals Month — and we’re swinging into it with a big THANK YOU to our amazing principal, Dr. Burkett!

We love the way she leads with caring and compassion while encouraging every student and staff member to be and do their very best. Whether she’s cheering us on, supporting our goals, or hopping on the swings with the kids, she makes learning and leading so much fun!

Dr. Burkett, thank you for helping our school soar to new heights. You truly make a difference every single day to our Gator family!

Let’s celebrate in style—students are invited to dress up in their best 1950s outfits! Think poodle skirts, leather jackets, and rolled-up jeans.
