Special Announcements
Ms. Eberly's sixth-grade earth science class has been studying rocks and minerals.
The students viewed the teacher cracking open geodes to discover the minerals inside. They found a variety of crystals. Each student was then given a piece of mineral to keep.
This past weekend, the drama students received the highest awards in a variety of performance categories at the Florida State Jr. Thespian Competition.
We are extremely proud of their commitment, hard work, and achievement.
CONGRATULATIONS!
