Homecoming Week a HUGE SUCCESS

Thank you SLHS community for a tremendous homecoming week.  We had a lot of fun and introduced a new freshman class to the excting and eventful week called homecoming.  Every event went off without a hitch and the culminating event on Saturday night (Homecoming Dance) was one of the most attended events in recent years!  That says a lot about the school pride, committment, and unity that is felt within the student body!  We are GATOR STRONG!  

At the homecoming assembly I was challanged to the ALS ice bucket challengs and what an exciting time that was.  Before I did the challenge I had the student body help me decide whom I would pass the torch/challenge to next.  In the end the SCIENCE department is now working on a plan to take the challenge as well.  We raised over $400 in less than 5 minutes for my challenge!!!  What an amazing event and for a very worth cause.  

Thank you once again for allowing me to partner with you as we work in unity toward academic, athleics, and co curricular excellence-

Homecoming Week

Good morning Gator Community,

Our homecoming week is off to a tremendous start-  Our first annual bonfire took place on Monday night and was a huge hit-  We had tremendous attendance and the students really enjoyed the new atmosphere.  The night set the tone and provided some school spirit and momentum for the week.

Last night the annual Powder Puff football game was held once again at the NAAC.  The game was very competitive early on, but the seniors took over in the second half and ran away with the victory.  A big thanks to all the staff that helped make this event possible, but also to the community for the great attendance.  This has become a very enjoyable tradition for the Gator community and we appreciate all the support.

Wednesday-  Movie in the Swamp-  7:30pm-  RIO-  (Weather pending)
