This week we celebrated 100th day of school.  There were teachers dressed like they were 100 years old, students creating projects with 100 items, and lots of fun filled learning experiences to commemorate the the 100th day of school.  It was also Counselor's Appreciation Week.  Mrs. Edwards works tirelessly for our students.  We appreciate her everyday.  Our 5th graders were visited by the Null Middle School Counselors to plan their 6th grade classes.  They were pretty excited about their transition visit. Make sure their forms are filled out and returned by the deadline date.  Friday Night was Family Bingo Night.  We are always excited about the community support and participation in the school events.  Mrs. Anderson was the Rockstar of the Week.  Thank you for being a leader!  Until next week...see you later Gators!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's so hard to believe that January is over.  Time is flying and students are soaring!  Last week we celebrated College and Career Week.  The Gators were able to interact with local firefighters, policemen, and military personnel.  Every week, we start our week as a Motivating Monday.  Our staff and students are encouraged to wear college gear.  This day was created to begin every week thinking about our future.  Career Educators came out and took photos of our students dressed they see themselves professionally.  It was a great experience for all of them.  Mr. Reginald King was our Rockstar of the Week. We can't thank him enough for all that he does to support our Gators!  Until next week...see you later Gators!

 

What an amazing week!  The GatorFest was fantastic and we had such a great turnout.  Thank you to all of the families that came and had some fun exploring math, science, and literacy.  Our biggest attraction was the Discovery Dome.  Families anxiously waited to witness the amazing 3D science videos.  Next week, the Gators are looking forward to College Week.  There are fun dress up days, Career Photos, and lots of visitors from different careers.  Our Rockstar of the Week was Mrs. Augustine.  Thank you Mrs. Augustine for your unwavering commitment to our 1st grade Gators.   Until next week...see you later Gators!

Welcome back and Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a joyous holiday break.  I was so excited to see the smiling faces of our Gators.  We started off our week in full force.  There is so much happening this month.  Gatorfest, College Week, Career Educators and more...  Be on the lookout for more information on Take Home Tuesdays.  Our Rockstar of the Week is Mrs. Stephenson.  We appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to helping our students excel.  Until nest week...see you later Gators!

In a word...fun!  What a great week for all Gators!  Mrs. Schultz did a fantastic job coordinating our Reading Carousel.  The students were read holiday stories from special guest throughout our District.  They sang Christmas carols, drank hot chocolate, and wore their pajamas for our Polar Express Day.  Gator Claus was in the building and many of our students were able to have their picture taken with him.  We finished the week with class parties.  The building smelled of Hot Cheetos and Taki's.  There were red fingers everywhere.  Our Rockstar of the week was Mrs. Kim Edwards, Counselor.  She works tirelessly in making sure our Gators have what they need.  She ROCKS!  Have a safe and wonderful holiday break.  Until next year...see you later Gators!

 

 

 

 

 

This week, the Null Middle School Band came over and entertained our 5th graders.  They are looking forward to the many fun things they can do when they go to NMS.  Ronald McDonald was the feature of the week.  He gave a great show and message about friendship and bullying.  We had a great time.  Our Rockstar Teacher of the Week is Mrs. Lori Meador.  She Rocks!  Thank you Mrs. Meador for all of your hard work and dedication in making this school great!

I am so proud to work in a district that exemplifies the servant attitude.  On Wednesday, Dr. Giles, along with the members of Cabinet, came over and cooked the staff pancakes.  Not only were the pancakes fantastic, everyone felt appreciated.  It was a great day.  Our  teachers are relentless in trying to meet the needs of each of our students, daily.  So, watching them feel the gratitude from the Superintendent was an honor.  Thank you Dr. Giles, Dr. Bowman, Marna Harper, and Abraham George.  You make a difference! 

 

Our Rockstar Teacher of the Week is Yolanda Morales, 1st Grade,  She ROCKS!  Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.  

 

Until next week...See you later Gators! 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  I love seeing families get together.  I love all the sounds and smells the holiday brings.  This year, I am thankful for my staff.  They work so hard to give each and every student what they need to be successful.  Everyday, they share their gift of time and talent to make a difference in the life of a child.  I am thankful to be surrounded by a caring staff.  I hope you have a restful and meaningful Thanksgiving.  I would also like to give a special thanks and congratulate Ms. Cynthia Profit.  She is our Rockstar Gator of the week, but she is also leaving us.  She has been promoted to PEIMS Clerk at C.E. King High School.  She will be greatly missed by all.  Until next week...see you later Gators!
