Gator Games

Parents,

We are excited to have our Gator Games this Friday.  Our students have been reminded that they should be respectful and cooperative at all times.  Since we have some stations in which students will get wet, we are asking to students to bring a change of clothes.  Students may want to wear a bathing suit underneath their clothes, but they must be covered at all times. Please encourage your child to bring a towel, water bottle, sunscreen and a hat to protect them from potential heat.  Let the games begin!
