Weather!Weather!Weather!Weather! BRRRR!!!! Please make sure that your children come dressed for the weather. Until the wind-chill dips below 20°, we go outside for recess, so warm coats, gloves
and hats are a must. Please remember to label student clothing.
Particularly for the little ones. Thank you!
Indoor Lineups Starting this week, we will begin lining students up inside each morning. As our hallways get quite congested please make sure to drop your students off in the main lobby at 9:00 a.m. each morn-ing. Our Gators are just fine lining up outside of their classrooms on their own.

Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2016Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2016Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2016Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2016 The Origins of Veterans Day -- World War I ended on November 11, 1918. On the same date three years later an unknown soldier from that
war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. November 11 eventually became the date when America honors all who have served the United
States in war.
On Friday, let’s do our part to shake a Veteran’s hand and thank that person for the freedoms that we enjoy each and every day. Let us never forget their sacrifices...
