On Friday, October 23, students, staff, families, and interns from Florida State University’s Blindness and Low Vision Studies Program gathered at the Blind Library to celebrate student achievements during the first quarter.Students were recognized for being admitted to the Honor Roll and for achieving Perfect Attendance. The event was livestreamed, and light refreshments were served following the ceremony. As fall festivities continue, students were encouraged to "Do More. Be More. Achieve More." and to make every day count.

Two of our athletes, Shanteria Davis and Aspen Henderson, received honors but were unable to attend due to a goalball competition.

Congratulations to everyone!

Each year, we celebrate our Teachers of the Year, Rookie Teacher of the Year, and School-Related Employee of the Year, along with their supervisors with a wonderful brunch prepared and served by our Deaf High School Culinary Arts students in the Dragon's Lair.

Chef Gaynor and her students always provide an unbelievable five-star dining experience! Over the years, we have enjoyed chicken and waffles, French Croque Madame sandwiches, a delicious Italian pasta dish, and so many other wonderful creations. This year’s theme was Southwest cuisine, featuring a feast of black bean soup, pork salbutes, and burnt orange flan.

It is always wonderful to gather with our colleagues over amazing food, but what makes this tradition even more special is watching our students put their skills into practice and SHINE! Great food, great company, and another opportunity for our students to do more, be more, and achieve more!

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!!
