Our first ship meeting of the year is officially in the books! Our pirates gathered with their ships to practice their ship handshakes and chants, build some ship spirit, and learn more about September’s resiliency trait: Citizenship!

We’re excited to watch our pirates show what it means to be great citizens of their classroom, ship, and school community all year long.

Our first fleet meeting of the year was a success!

Our pirates gathered with their ships as one big fleet to celebrate, connect, and kick off another amazing year together! We celebrated our leading ship, watched our teachers battle it out in an epic Rock, Paper, Scissors showdown, and received our new ship shirts for the year! There’s nothing better than seeing our whole fleet come together and show their ship pride!

And our fleet isn’t quite complete yet… We can’t wait to officially welcome our Kindergarten pirates once they are sorted into their ships!

Here’s to a year full of teamwork, friendly competition, and plenty of Pirate pride!

Volunteers needed!!

Fleet is our school-wide PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) program that sorts each student into a different colored "ship," which are all the different gemstones you see on the back of their ship shirts. It brings our entire school community together!

Beginning Wednesday, September 30th, our monthly Fleet Meetings will focus on building connections among the grade levels and practicing character trait skills.

As a volunteer, you will help bring the planned lesson to life. With clear step-by-step instructions and a script to follow, you'll coach students through that month's activity. We promise there is no guesswork involved! Teachers will be standing by encouraging participation and offering support. If you have any questions or want to understand more about what volunteering for Fleet Meetings looks like, contact our SAC Chair Leah Verier-Dunn at 941-544-8599.

THANK YOU for volunteering--we couldn't run this program without our amazing volunteers!

Here is the link to sign up as a volunteer:
