We want to take a moment to thank you so much for your amazing participation this week in this year's Penny Wars. Our school community raised $4,351.16 this year. Since September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the funds will go to supporting Candlelighters of Brevard, a local organization that provides emotional and financial support to children and their families while the children are in treatment for cancer. In addition, a portion of this year's proceeds will be used to purchase the Sunshine State books for our Media Center.

Our 1st place winner, celebrating with an ice cream party, is Mrs. Holeman's 2nd grade class. The class coming in 2nd place, celebrating with a popcorn party, is Mrs. Bechtol's 1st grade class. The biggest loser, who will celebrate with a pajama day, is Mrs. Bryant's 4th grade class. This year we are awarding a 2nd place biggest loser for their efforts, Mrs. Reid's 3rd grade class and they will also celebrate with a pajama day. Congratulations!

The whole school did such an awesome job raising funds for a very important cause, so we will celebrate everyone with a school-wide popsicle party. Stay tuned for the date.

We want to extend a very special thank you to our teachers, staff and volunteers for helping promote and support this event. Have a great weekend!

We are excited to streamline the donation process for Jog-A-Thon by using 99Pledges. You and your student will be able to reach out to friends and family electronically by email, Facebook, and other social media platforms instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks. Additionally, donors can make a contribution to support your participant with a simple and secure online transaction. Look for an email from “Gemini Jog-A-Thon 24/25” for your child's personalized page in early October.

Please come join us on the south field anytime from 7:15 am until the first bell. The Morning Mile is a special

the school day starts. Morning Mile takes place on the field just south of the school with kids walking or

running laps around the field. Every student at Gemini new and returning is automatically signed up and

Morning Mile is free. Each lap run or walked around the field earns a straw with 5 laps/straws in a mile. 5

miles/25 laps earns a necklace and shoe charm! For 100 miles and up kids will receive a t-shirt, run a victory

lap, and earn recognition on an awards placard. Parents, siblings, and friends are welcome to come participate

with the students. Kids at all levels are encouraged to participate and make fitness a healthy and fun habit!

We hope to see you there!
