We’ve had such a busy and exciting week at Duval! This week, students enjoyed two days of field trips out to the Farm to School Grow Hub. They had the opportunity to feed cows and chickens, learn about gardening, and even try some fresh vegetables right from the garden!
On Wednesday, we celebrated another attendance milestone. Our Dragons averaged 91% attendance last week which meant they got to draw with chalk on the large parking lot! We are so proud of our students for showing up each day ready to learn. Our new goal is 92% average daily attendance, because we know that being present is the key to learning and success!
We’re also excited to share that all students received a Duval Dragon t-shirt to wear on our field trips. The shirts help show that we are a group and make it easier to keep track of our little Dragons while we’re out and about. Please help your child keep track of their shirt so they can wear it on spirit days, future field trips, or just to school to show their Dragon pride! A huge thank you goes out to our sponsors—The Community Foundation of NCFL, Smith & Eulo Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Florida Credit Union—for making this possible!
Thank you, parents, for your continued support! We couldn’t do it without you! We’re excited to see what October brings for our Duval Dragons.
