Gators Care
In case you missed the video on social media last week, check out the video about our week of service. Video: Gators Care Week Thank you to the staff, students, and our PTA volunteers.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's parties are scheduled in elementary classrooms for February 13. Just like our Halloween parties, we will not serve or use food in any crafts or games. Instead, we will focus on games and activities. Room reps should double-check with their classroom teachers to verify the set-up and start time. If your child passes out Valentine's cards to other students, the cards cannot have any candy or food attached. Non-edible trinkets such as pencils, erasers, stickers, etc., are great alternatives. Goodie bags filled with trinkets or candy are not allowed. We greatly appreciate our room reps and volunteers who organize and provide fun Valentine's experiences for our students.
