Arbor Springs Elementary

Today we said, “See you later, Alligator!” 🐊💙 to Dr. Clay and Kristen Patafio.

Thank you both for the 11 years of love, support, and dedication you’ve given to Arbor. You’ve made a lasting impact on our students, staff, and school family, and you will be greatly missed. Wishing you both nothing but the best on your next adventures! ✨

Yesterday, we celebrated Coach Sain and the upcoming arrival of Baby Sain! 💙🍼 We are so excited for this sweet new adventure and loved getting to shower Coach Sain with lots of love, laughter, and well wishes. Our Arbor family can’t wait to meet the newest little Gator! 🐊✨

💜💛 A special shoutout to our very own SRO, Officer Jacob! At ECHS’ graduation, he stepped in to help a young man by tying his tie and making sure he looked his very best before walking across the stage.

It’s moments like these that remind us that being an SRO is about so much more than safety — it’s about caring for students, showing up when it matters, and making a difference in the little moments. Thank you, Officer Jacob, for always supporting our kids and showing the heart behind the badge. 🐊

🎉 Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at their end-of-the-year celebration yesterday! From the foam party to the water slide and all the fun in between, it was the perfect way to celebrate an amazing group of Gators as they wrap up their elementary school journey. 💙💚🐊

We are so proud of our 5th graders and can’t wait to see all the incredible things they accomplish next!

☀️🐊 We had an absolute BLAST at Field Day Monday! From races and games to laughs and teamwork, our Gators had the best time making memories together! 💚💙

A HUGE shoutout to Coach Sain for organizing such a fun-filled day for our Gators! 🏃‍♂️🎉 Your hard work and planning made the day extra special for everyone.

Thank you as well to all of our amazing volunteers who helped everything run so smoothly. We appreciate each and every one of you for making the day a success! 💚🐊

🐊💚 Huge shoutout to Raegan and Alisha for helping clean up the big playground after Field Day! 🧹☀️ From leftover trash to all the little things left behind, they jumped in and helped get everything looking great again for our Gators. We appreciate your hard work, teamwork, and willingness to help! 👏🐊

💚🐊 A huge thank you to Deidre K. Bembry- State Farm Insurance Agent for treating our teachers and staff to breakfast this morning! 🥞☕ We appreciate all you do for Arbor and the kindness and support you continuously show our school family. Your generosity means so much to our EduGators! ✨
