This holiday season, our incredible 4th and 5th grade IB Ambassadors demonstrated true compassion and leadership by raising funds for three worthy causes. Their efforts supported:

• Gloria's Gladiators: This organization directly supports Gloria, a family friend of Ms. Gamez, in her courageous battle against High Grade Glioma.
• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: A renowned institution dedicated to finding cures for life-threatening childhood diseases, including cancer.
• Wreaths Across America: An organization honoring the memory of our fallen veterans by placing wreaths on their graves.

Through their dedicated fundraising, our ambassadors collected approximately $370! Demonstrating thoughtful allocation, they distributed the funds as follows:

• $150 was donated to Gloria's Gladiators, providing direct support during a challenging time.
• $150 was contributed to St. Jude's, furthering vital research and care for children in need.
• $70 was allocated to Wreaths Across America, enabling the purchase of four wreaths—one on behalf of each house at our school—to honor our veterans' service and sacrifice.

We are immensely proud of our IB Ambassadors for their generosity and commitment to making a positive impact this holiday season.

We recently had our annual Spelling Bee, expertly organized by fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Gould. All participants demonstrated exceptional spelling skills, showcasing their dedication and hard work. The competition featured bilingual and monolingual categories, providing a platform for diverse linguistic abilities. Our esteemed winners will advance to the district-level spelling bee in 2025. Throughout the event, our Gators embodied the IB Learner Profiles, particularly demonstrating the qualities of thinkers, knowledgeable individuals, and risk-takers.
