Everglades City School’s spring Scholastic book fair was a huge success! In addition to earning funds for our media center, the excitement for reading was felt by all! Students were so happy with their new books! We are especially thankful to Deputy Sue and the Police Activities League for purchasing a NEW book for all the EVG students! Monday, March 4th Deputy Sue shopped with each EVG student! Wow! Plus, she and the Police Activities League supported EVG teachers with a special gift! Deputy Sue delivered special gift bags for our teachers that included books from the fair! Incredible! EVG would also like to thank the Everglades Lions Club for sponsoring the media center! The Everglades Lions Club’s sizeable donation enabled us to purchase new books for the library! These exciting new books will benefit all! Thank you for supporting literacy at EVG!

Congratulations to Arabelle Ingley, who was selected as a “Do the Right Thing” recipient. She was nominated for doing a good deed and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office honored her on Tuesday April the 2nd. Way to go Arabelle!!

EVG is so proud of our readers! A huge congratulations to third grader Madeline Strickland. Madeline was the first student this year to earn a place on our varsity reading team. Madeline read and wrote over 40 book reports! Wow! In the photo, Madeline is proudly wearing her personalized varsity t-shirt! To earn varsity reading team status the students must read 40 books and complete the corresponding “Reading with a Purpose” book report! Then, they submit the report to the media specialist Mrs. Owen and they discuss the book! Quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations to our February Students of the month Madelyn Thoner and Turner Shealy.

Congratulations to the March Students of the month Kevin Calmo Cruz and Jessica Cruz Matias. Your student skills, overwhelming kindness and strong character traits make you a standout at EVG!!

A special shout out to Olivia Johnson and the Nate Edwards Fishing Tournament for a few of the many ways that they are reaching out and supporting our students. The tournament bought furniture for differentiated instruction for some elementary classes that the students love to work at. Science was able to purchase materials to support the 6th grade solar car challenge. Leader in Me leadership banners and 7 Habits of Highly Effective Students were bought for elementary and secondary hallways to promote students’ growth mindsets.

A poster maker was given to the media center to promote all school incentives and events and to celebrate students. Tanks, motors, and materials for our science students were purchased for classes to promote our High School Agriculture and Middle School Science classes. Flexible seating was purchased for some elementary classes, giving students creative options in place of a standard desk. Our 5th-grade students enjoy their flexible seating with an oversized map carpet for creative learning opportunities. These are just a few of the wonderful things this tournament has done for EVG. This spring, five seniors will receive $5,000 scholarships for continuing education.
