Families enjoyed a "Gator Skate" night full of fun at Skate Town this week hosted by GLH Johnson Elementary PTA. Go Gator Skaters!

Families at Forest Hills dressed up in their pajamas for "Polar Express Night." They enjoyed exploring new books and a craft.

In the spirit of excellence, Westwood Middle School hosted their Academic Showcase that provided scholars with the opportunity to present to families and district staff examples of Project Based Learning, The Frayer Model as well as Student Collaboration.
