Gator Playbook

We hope everyone enjoyed the fall festivities as of late. The Book Character Parade and Book Character Dance were a blast! Students enjoyed all the dress up days as they pledged to make healthy choices. It seems unbelievable, but November is here. This month brings many more learning experiences and one of our favorite events of the year - the Thanksgiving Lunch!
