Never been a
better time to be a Panther. Academically, we reviewed our data with the
superintendent last week, and we are very pleased with it at this point. Last
week, we highlighted our Early Warning Systems processes and highlighted our
data from last year at our board workshop, and I want to take a moment to
really recognize our staff, students, and parents for the hard work that goes
into our school. We have the most dedicated staff, and I am grateful for each
one of them.
●
We are in the
second week of Conference Weeks and really appreciate our staff and our parents
taking the time to talk about the success of our students. We held our school
wide Math Madness competitions yesterday and Tropicana Speech contests today.
Tomorrow, our kindergarten classes will be visiting the Alligator Farm in St.
Augustine and on Thursday, 2nd and 5th grades will be visiting Sea World for
educational field trips thanks to the generous support of our PTO. On Thursday,
we are also revving up for grades and welcome anyone with a motorcycle to meet
us at the GSB in Bunnell to parade in at 7:45. No school for students on
Friday, and the week of March 16th is Spring Break. We will have a Summer Camp Showcase here
in our cafeteria on Thursday, March 26th, and Super Sons will be here on
Friday, March 27th. On March 30th, we begin our Awards Week, will host Terrific
Kids on Tuesday 3/31 and our Community Problem Solvers are scheduled to compete
at the state level Mar. 29-April 1st. So March is
shaping up to be quite busy!
