From celebrating milestones at the Bridging Ceremony and cheering on our students during the 5th Grade Clap Out, to honoring graduates at @IHS_OCPS Graduation and ending with fun at the PBIS Carnival — this season was filled with pride, joy, and unforgettable memories.
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making every moment special. Here’s to celebrating growth, achievement, and the bright futures ahead! @rmccloe@YJHwang_OCPS@APBVaz@BWorrell_@Mariolagr
Our third-grade Wax Museum was a huge success! Students researched famous people from a variety of fields, including inventors, athletes, political leaders, social activists, Nobel Peace Prize winners, musicians, and more. They created informative display boards and memorized key facts about their chosen person to share with families, classmates, and visitors. The event brought history and learning to life as students proudly presented their research in character. @rmccloe@YJHwang_OCPS@APBVaz@BWorrell_@CDLocps
I love this tradition! Today, our Sun Blaze Stingray seniors took one final walk through the halls where their journey began. 💙🧡
As they returned to their elementary school, our students lined the hallways singing the school song, cheering, and celebrating these amazing seniors and all they have accomplished. From little learners to graduating leaders, this full-circle moment was one to remember!
We are so proud of our Stingrays and can’t wait to see where the future takes them. 🎓✨

Our Sun Blaze students brought the energy over the last two days! ☀️ From dancing and singing to playing music and even making slime—we did it all.
This is what versatility in our program looks like: high-energy, hands-on learning that keeps students engaged, curious, and excited to try new things. So much creativity, movement, and growth packed into one incredible week! @rmccloe@YJHwang_OCPS@APBVaz@CSO_OCPS@OCPS_DES

Our competing math team left it all on the table today at the District Math Olympics! Remember this team from January? They placed in the top 2 for our cadre and advanced to the district level competition. Students not only deepened their math skills in working with @BWorrell_ , but also learned how to be a good teammate and collaborator!
