Luke Bollinger represented our school and the Gray Middle FFA Chapter at the National FFA Convention and placed 4th in the nation with his outstanding Agriscience Fair Project in the Power, Structural, and Technical Systems Division! His hard work, innovation, and dedication to agricultural science truly shine, and we couldn’t be more proud of his accomplishments. Congratulations Luke, you continue to make your school, chapter, alumni and community proud!

Our Gray Middle School Cross Country team competed at the State Championship! Out of 273 runners, Luis Henao-Fontanez placed 61st with an impressive time of 11 minutes, 28 seconds, and Alexzander Martinez finished close behind in 65th place with a time of 11 minutes, 31 seconds. We are so proud of them for representing Gray Middle School at the state level.

Students in 6th grade History Class were investigating King Tuts death by analyzing x-rays. So cool!

Every day is an opportunity to practice kindness, respect, and inclusion in our schools and communities. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for standing strong against bullying this October—and beyond!

Did you know that Ms. Sanservino's class has invited staff to be guest readers into her classroom? This is contributing to their learning environment and engaging the students. Thank you to Ms. Rios, Mr. Alvarado, Ms. Alexis with one of her students, Ms. Sorrells, Mr. Stuart, and Coach U. More readers will continue to visit and read with the class. Thank you for providing this experience, Ms. Sanservino!

It's almost time for our Red Ribbon Week celebration. Take a look at how you can dress up each day.

Did you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road? Less than 1% of all traffic fatalities involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for all drivers, as well as parents and students, to understand school bus safety. That's the focus of National School Bus Safety Week, an active and evolving public education program urging parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators, and other interested parties to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety.

We had a great time this morning at our PBIS Art Event! Way to go Gators! Keep earning those Gator Bucks. 🐊
