Our newest classmate.....

Our Florida Panther!!!

Through their social studies reports and dollar donations 4th graders were able to adopt a Florida Panther!  He/She does not have a name yet (we are working on it) but we are very excited that we were able to donate to one of our most endangered animals of the Southeast region!
