We are proud of our students that participated in the Tallahassee Southside Rotary Youth Service Project. Students completed a series of activities showing their appreciation for our Veterans. This was a rewarding experience that allowed us to discuss 9/11 and other issues surrounding our country. Thank you to those that donated shoes, cards, and video presentation.

Welcome to the 2021-22 school year.
