BY THE WAY...

Green Gators love FLEX time!  Scheduled during the lunch block, this 23-minute FLEX time can be used for additional instruction, intervention, community-building, silent sustained reading, or indoor/outdoor recess and movement.

There are two ways you can help make FLEX time even Greater for our Gators:

• Gently used donations can be dropped off at the main office.  Please label it: Green Gator FLEX.  We are looking for items such as board games, card games, outdoor balls (Nerf-like), 3-D puzzle games (for individual use, like Rubik’s cubes), or small jigsaw puzzles.

• Amazon donations can be made by using this link.
