Well, Well Well....You have done it again! The following students have been recognized as Florida's Best and Brightest! Florida's Young Scholars is a program that seeks to honor third through eighth graders for excellence in the classroom , community, church as well as on athletic fields and courts. Their names will be listed on the Best and Brightest website. They will also be honored at a Florida Marlin's home game! I am very proud to have these students in my classroom. They truly exemplify Florida's Best and Brightest!!
