To Our Amazing Fifth Grade Gators,
As you prepare to leave the swamp and begin your middle school journey, we want you to know just how proud we are of each and every one of you. Over the years, we have watched you learn, grow, overcome challenges, build friendships, and become the incredible young people you are today.
Your hard work, determination, and perseverance have brought you to this exciting milestone. While we will miss seeing your smiling faces in our hallways, hearing your laughter, and cheering you on each day, we know that you are ready for the next chapter.
As you move forward, remember to believe in yourselves, work hard, be kind, and never stop reaching for your dreams. We have no doubt that you will continue to shine brightly and accomplish amazing things. The future is full of possibilities, and we cannot wait to see all the great things that lie ahead for you.
No matter where your journey takes you, always remember where it began. Once a Gator, always a Gator. You will forever be a part of our school family, and we will always be cheering you on.
Congratulations, Fifth Grade Gators! Keep shining, keep growing, and keep making us proud.

Wishing all of your Gators a wonderful celebration and an exciting start to middle school! 🐊💚💛

To Our Beloved Ambassador Teachers Mrs. Sanyah McKinnon and Mrs. Arling Martinez,

A chapter is closing, but what a beautiful chapter it has been. As you graduate from the Ambassador Teacher Program and step into your next adventure, know this with absolute certainty: you will never be forgotten.

The friends and family you’ve made here—students, staff, fellow teachers—will carry you in their hearts for the rest of their lives. You’ve shaped minds, lifted spirits, and strengthened this school in ways that will echo long after you walk out these doors.

Your lessons will be cherished.
Your time here will never be forgotten.
Your love for our students has changed them.
Your dedication has changed us.
And your knowledge has made Garrett a better school.

We are so proud of you—of the courage it takes to begin again, of the passion you’ve poured into every day, and of the legacy you leave behind. This isn’t an ending; it’s the beginning of a new story, one you’ve more than earned.

Carry our gratitude with you. Carry our love with you. And carry the truth that your fellow teachers and past students will never forget the mark you’ve made.

Once a Gator, always a Gator.❤️🐊

🐊💚 GATOR NATION — WE NEED YOU! 💚🐊

Garrett is in urgent need of EOG Testing Proctors! 📚📝
Our students can’t test without enough volunteers — your help truly makes the difference.

Proctors simply walk the room, keep students on task, and help with restroom breaks. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️✨
IMPORTANT: Please sign up on a day your child is not testing — proctors cannot serve in their child’s grade level.

🙏 We are counting on our amazing parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, college siblings, and neighbors to step up!

💥 SIGN UP NOW:

Training info will follow after you sign up.
Let’s show these Gators how strong our community is! 🐊💪💚
