I can’t give a big enough shout out to Shistle for being the best Co-Team Lead partner a teacher could dream of.

We finished each others sentences, picked up tasks where the other left off and truly worked as one person.

Here’s to ☀️ and being ready to conquer next year!

Teachers and Staff enjoyed such an incredible Pot Luck today to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! From the beautiful decorations, delicious food, and great company… a fun time was had by all.

We are ready to see our Falcons tomorrow to begin the second nine weeks of school!

@Widalis_Camacho @FreedomVolusia We’d love to bring you one sometime!!

Our Hispanic Heritage Month Pot Luck Lunch is tomorrow… when I saw the sign up, I texted Dave to ask what I (*he!) could make for the occasion.

Well Falcons… “My” aka Dave’s Stuffed Peppers are making a return again this year after many compliments last year. @FreedomVolusia
