Thank you to all of the families for coming out to Gator Expo on Thursday. Thank you, also, to our amazing teachers and school staff. You are all appreciated and we are so proud of our Gators!
Our 8th grade students had the opportunity to check out the CTE options offered at South Lake High School. CTE (Career Technical Education) courses range from health sciences and nursing, to JROTC, to Horticulture, to construction. Students will need to complete a CTE course in high school for graduation and we are so thankful that SLHS was able to come showcase their programs with some of our former Gators as their student ambassadors. Go Gators and Go Eagles!

Be Free Lake has partnered with the City of Mascotte to put this amazing dance on for young adults in the surrounding local community grades 5th through 8th. It is a chaperoned event with those working vetted. They also have a police officer on duty at the dance the entire time.
"Let's Do Lunch" was an event where the You're Not Alone Ambassadors invited students randomly to engage and build new connections to promote empathy and inclusivity. It was so nice to see the students gathering together like this!
