We're thrilled to join the Florida Department of Education in celebrating Gifted Education Week! The Florida Department of Education has officially designated November 3-7, 2025, as Gifted Education Week in Florida! This is a fantastic time to recognize Florida's commitment to providing rigorous educational experiences and tailored support for our advanced learners.

Here in Highlands County, we are celebrating the incredible achievements and innovative spirit of our students. Our elementary gifted students have been exploring this year's hands-on curriculum, "The Carnival of Creativity."

Building Skills for the Future
Our students are engaging in hands-on, collaborative projects that focus on their intellectual growth and the development of critical academic skills:

STEAM & Design Challenges: Students are tackling real-world, carnival-themed STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) challenges. They are applying the engineering design process and using math and science concepts to create a variety of products.

Building Resilience: A key focus is on developing perseverance and a growth mindset. These challenges are intentionally complex, giving students a safe space to practice problem-solving, learn from setbacks, and build grit.

Innovation and Leadership: Through teamwork, students are honing their critical and creative thinking abilities, practicing leadership skills, and developing real-world problem-solving strategies.

Friday: Drugs are a Trick, Healthy Choices are a Treat! Wear your favorite costume or Fall themed shirt (no masks or full face paint, weapons, gore, etc.)

Join us on November 11th for our Veterans Day Program at 9:00am! Students should wear red, white, or blue that day. We hope to see you there!

Wednesday: Give Drugs the Boot! Dress like a cowboy/cowgirl - boots, western hat, bandana, plaid shirt, etc.

Tuesday: We FIt Together Drug Free! Twin with a friend, classmate, or staff member!

Monday: Wear Red for Red Ribbon Week. Wear Red to kick off RED RIBBON WEEK TOGETHER!

Get ready for Red Ribbon Week! Next week we have 5 great days to show how you can stay drug free and be healthy! Check out each day for a different theme!
