Post-planning provided an opportunity for our faculty and staff to come together and celebrate a successful year. We recognized OCPS Years of Service honorees, Panther Oscar Award recipients, Marvelous Mentors, our Testing Guru Squad, and Assistive Technology All-Stars. We also celebrated our Disney ticket winners, enjoyed our final community builder and breakfast gathering, and shared a heartfelt farewell with AP Barker. Thank you to our incredible team for a year of dedication, collaboration, and commitment to our Panther community! 🐾💙💛

After our field day, we celebrated our 8th graders during our 8th Grade Walkout! As they took their final walk through Freedom Middle School, they were met with lots of hugs, encouragement, and well wishes from the teachers who have supported them along the way. We are proud of all they have accomplished and will miss them dearly. Once a Panther, always a Panther! 💙💛🐾
