🧡 Today we united in orange for our STAND UP anti-bullying assembly, and the energy was unforgettable! 🧡

Students and staff came together to celebrate Unity Day and take a powerful stand against bullying.

💪 We learned how to STAND UP:

S = Stand up when you see bullies
T = Tell a trusted adult
A = Act with kindness
N = Never join in
D = Defend others

U = Understand differences
P = Practice confidence

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible community partner Panther TKD for empowering our students with confidence, courage, and respect. Your support made today even more impactful!

Let’s keep the momentum going—kindness is contagious, and standing up makes a difference. Panther Tae Kwon Do Duval County Public Schools DCPS Human Resources

🌟 Teacher of the Year Spotlight: Ms. Carter! 🌟

We’re thrilled to celebrate Ms. Carter as our 2025 Teacher of the Year! Her passion, dedication, and belief in her students make her a true force in education.
Ms. Carter shared:

🗣️ “I instill in all my students to know they can be successful in any area they choose. Scientists and engineers get paid for their knowledge and skills. An education will allow them to excel from their current situation to any place they dream of. Good work ethics and a good education will allow them to make the wealth they deserve. My class motto is: It may not always be easy, but it is well worth it!”

Her words—and her work—ignite ambition and confidence in every student she teaches.

Thank you, Ms. Carter, for being a beacon of excellence and empowerment! 💙📚 Duval County Public Schools DCPS Human Resources
