🍦 A sweet learning experience at Kelly’s Ice Cream!

Some of our students, PIT Crew, and teachers walked over to Kelly’s, where the area manager shared how ice cream is made and what the team looks for when hiring. Students also practiced their communication and money math skills while purchasing and enjoying a delicious treat!
Thank you to Kelly’s for welcoming us and sharing a look at the world of work! 🧡

Biotechnology Teachers Attend UF's Mini Med School

Ms. Alfert and Ms. Demins attended UF's mini med school. They heard presentations from medical doctors and research professors about the work that UF is doing using gene editing tools such as CRISPR and AAV (adeno-associated virus) gene therapy to treat diseases like Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and type 1 diabetes. Then they completed a lab using CRISPR to cut DNA. Go Lions!

OHS Teachers and Employee of the Week

Franco

Teacher of the Week

Teacher of the Week: Dr. Franco  

A special thank you to Dr. Franco for organizing a wonderful breakfast for our ESE team. The opportunity to gather with our support facilitation teachers, dedicated paraprofessionals, Mr. B, and fellow colleagues was truly appreciated.

With the demands of our daily schedules, we do not often have the chance to come together, connect, and enjoy meaningful conversations. This gathering provided an opportunity to strengthen relationships, celebrate our teamwork, and appreciate the incredible individuals who support our students each day.

On behalf of the teachers, paraprofessionals, faculty, admin, and staff, thank you for your thoughtfulness and for fostering such a warm and caring environment. Your leadership and commitment to building a positive school community make a difference and are deeply appreciated.

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Week for recognizing and celebrating the spirit of teamwork that makes our school exceptional!
