The Gator Gazette

Hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend and the SNOW! The snow is beautiful, but brings conditions that are not always the best when getting to and from school. Please bundle up to protect yourself from the elements. If you are in need of a coat, hat, or gloves please see your counselor for items that we have or to learn more about community resources that are available for assistance.
