Good afternoon! This is a friendly reminder regarding the Fall Gator Bash. It's almost time for our Fall Gator Bash. This year's event will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025. We have 5 food truck vendors that will be onsite so we have a variety of food to pick from. The cost for students to participate is $15 and this covers all activities (except food). All money must be turned in by Wednesday, November 5th at 12noon. A separate email will be sent out with specific menus for each vendor so you have an estimate of how much money to provide your child for the day. Students that owe late fees will not be allowed to attend this event until the fees are cleared. If your child is on the chronic absent list, they are not allowed to attend this event. See the attached flyers for some of the details regarding the event. Should there be any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call the school at (251) 221-1820.

ATTENTION PARENTS:
Beginning, Monday, November 3, 2025, students in grades 2nd - 5th will begin taking the ACAP practice test.

Students are trying to earn their FREE trip to OWA or the Water Day that will be held at the school. It is important that your child is present and on time in order to qualify to attend. PLEASE be sure they get a good night's sleep. Thank you in advance for your support!
