Sagemont Preparatory School

Our third grade Lions had a great day exploring the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Key Biscayne Nature Center! Students learned about coastal ecosystems through a hands-on touch tank experience, where they examined local marine life and even held sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sea snails. They also explored the island’s unique plants and trees, discovered how they help protect coastal habitats, and learned about sea turtle nesting grounds and the importance of seagrass ecosystems. The students asked great questions, shared thoughtful observations, and came away with lots of new knowledge about Florida’s coastal environment.

Our Sagemont Prep lions recently participated in the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Americanism Elementary School Poster Contest, showcasing their creativity, artistic talent, and understanding of American history through original Revolutionary War-themed artwork.

We are proud to congratulate our amazing Sagemont Prep winners:
• First Place: Sophia Rietschel
• Second Place: Sarah Betancur
• Third Place: Bryan Mujica

Sophia’s poster advanced to the state competition, where she earned 3rd place in Florida and received a special award from the Women of the American Revolution organization.

A special thank you to Mrs. Prieto for supporting and encouraging our students throughout the competition process.

Congratulations to our talented student artists on this incredible achievement!

Recently, Sagemont Prep joined the Rotary Club of Weston, Rise Against Hunger, and to help pack 20,000 nutritious meals for families facing hunger around the world.
