Be Free Lake has partnered with the City of Mascotte to put this amazing dance on for young adults in the surrounding local community grades 5th through 8th. It is a chaperoned event with those working vetted. They also have a police officer on duty at the dance the entire time.
"Let's Do Lunch" was an event where the You're Not Alone Ambassadors invited students randomly to engage and build new connections to promote empathy and inclusivity. It was so nice to see the students gathering together like this!
The You're Not Alone program is making a positive difference on campus! Take a look at the event for Mental Nourishment.

We can’t thank our students and teachers enough for making Student-Teacher Dress Swap Day so memorable! We had a few shy ones who didn’t want their picture taken, but it was such a joy to see everyone embracing the spirit of the day and stepping into new roles with style and enthusiasm. Here’s a peek at the laughter, creativity, and community we shared.
Our PBIS event, BINGO, was a hit! Everyone had a great time enjoying a snack while playing and having the chance to win a prize. Go Gators!
There were laughs galore as we kicked off Literacy Week with various storytelling sessions. What an incredible day we had on campus as we welcomed an amazing storyteller to Gray Middle School! Students gathered around, some even enjoying their lunch while listening to a deliciously funny tall
tale that had everyone laughing out loud!
It was a perfect blend of fun and imagination, and we couldn't be more excited to share these magical moments with our students.
