🔥🚒 October is Fire Safety Month! 🚒🔥
Our 1st grade Panthers had a blazing good time learning all about fire safety! They explored how firefighters keep us safe, sprayed the fire hose 💦, and even wrote about their favorite firemen heroes. ❤️
A huge THANK YOU to the Okeechobee Fire Department for visiting and teaching our students such valuable lessons! 🙌
And special thanks to Mrs. Cruz, Ms. Daley, Ms. Hendrix, Ms. Martinez, and Ms. Cordero for sparking curiosity and guiding our young Panthers every day! ❤️🐾❤️

✨CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE = CONFIDENT LEARNERS 💪🍎
When students show up every day, they build skills and confidence to succeed!
🙌Attendance always matters, but October 6–10 is extra important! This week, the state takes its official enrollment snapshot, which helps determine school funding for the year.
✅ Students in class = accurate count = the right funding to keep our district strong and full of opportunities for our kids.
🌟Let’s make this week count- every student, every day, because it makes a difference!
