Fifth grade students prepared all year to travel to the Model United Nations conference. These students were the youngest to participate among 800 middle school students from around the United States. Student participants represented various countries during various periods in history. They presented resolutions for change, many of which were passed. Way to go future ambassadors!

"THIS IS HOW I ROLL!"
We appreciate our Bus Drivers
In partnership with our generous PTA, our bus drivers were surprised daily during bus driver appreciation week with special notes, gifts, food items, etc. to let them know how much the Gator Family appreciates their service.
Science Fair Winners go to the State Competition
Two of our 8 regional competitors were selected to present their science projects at the state competition in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Third grade student Nicholas Griffin's project is entitled, "Stretching to Higher Energy."
Fifth Grade student Aadi Patel's project is entitled, "How Does Food Dffect a diabetic and Non-diabetic Person’s Blood Sugar?"
Best Wishes to both of these Gator Scientists as they compete in the State Competition!
