Our girl did it! 💙 Elsie B. is a winner in the Colors of the Wild Lantern Festival 2027 art contest at Jacksonville Zoo!
Her manatee lantern design will be turned into a REAL illuminated lantern for next year's festival. From sketch to glowing lantern — how cool is that?
So many amazing K-12 entries inspired by wildlife & conservation. Can't wait to see them all shine in 2027! ✨

Week Eleven Inspirational Quote:
“Long-term success is a direct result of what you achieve every day. Goals provide your daily routine.” - Rick Pitino
Our Go for the Gold theme reminds us that excellence is not achieved through a single moment of greatness, but through consistent effort every day. Just as Olympic athletes do not win gold medals overnight, students and staff reach their goals by making intentional choices, staying focused, and striving to improve each day.
Goals provide the roadmap, and our daily actions move us closer to the finish line. Whether it's mastering a new skill, completing assignments, building positive relationships, or supporting one another, every small success contributes to long-term achievement.
As we Go for the Gold, let’s remember that the habits we build today determine the success we celebrate tomorrow. Every day is an opportunity to take one more step toward excellence.
