Vaill Hall always has some kind of fun activity planned. Last week they used washable dyes with balloons to have lots of outdoor fun. Then the perfect opportunity for a lesson on washing clothes!

The girls in Koger know how to spend their time in both work and play. Some of our girls are well into their cooking program this year. They go shopping every other week, sticking to a budget to purchase the food they'll cook for dinners in the dorm. But they also get to relax in the evening time, playing games or making crafts. All while enjoying time with their friends.

🧩 Hexagons + literature = powerful thinking! In Alicia Lugo's class today, students became literary detectives by connecting characters, events, symbols, and themes from "The Monkey's Paw." They had to defend each connection with evidence, demonstrating that great readers don’t just identify themes; they explain how those themes develop!

Wednesday brought the BHS White Cane Day Fall Carnival outside on our beautiful campus, complete with a bouncy house, pumpkin bowling, ring toss, pie tossing, and lots of fun with our students, staff, and families!
 
Then DHS Spirit Week kept the Dragon energy going with themed dress up days, class banners and skits competitions, the Homecoming parade, K-12 pep rally with recognition of teams and fun games for all, and the crowning of our Homecoming royalty. And how cool is this? We learned that some of these traditions date back to the 1950s! 

I loved being part of it all and spending some wonderful, spirit-filled time with our FSDB community. Way to go, Dragons, for keeping the traditions alive! 

In case you missed it - Congratulations to the FSDB football athletes and coaches for beating Maryland School for the Deaf!  It was a fantastic game. Thanks to our fans and cheerleaders for rooting them on.  GO DRAGONS!!

On Monday, I had the opportunity, thanks to an invitation from the Florida Chamber of Commerce, to tour Northrop Grumman and learn more about the remarkable work being done right here in Florida. It was especially meaningful to see the facility where one of our former FSDB students participated in an internship last year and to witness firsthand the innovation behind the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, a finalist in the Florida Chamber's "Coolest Thing Made in Florida" competition. Thank you to Northrop Grumman for an incredible experience and for investing in the future workforce of our state.

[Image 1]: A President Snow stands outdoors in front of the large Northrop Grumman facility, taking a selfie-style photograph. Behind her is a gray aircraft display mounted on a pedestal among tall ornamental grasses. The aircraft is positioned in front of a large white-and-blue industrial building with the Northrop Grumman logo visible in the background. She is wearing a white jacket, red shirt, red earrings, and a Northrop Grumman visitor lanyard. The sky is overcast, and the facility grounds, aircraft display, and building are clearly visible, highlighting the aerospace and defense setting of the visit.

[Image 2:]Members of Northrop Grumman, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce, and other visitors pose for a group photo inside an aircraft hangar. The group stands in front of an E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft, with its distinctive radar dome and large propellers prominently displayed behind them. President Snow is standing in the front row on the far right side of the group.
