Dear Colleagues:
It was a short but memorable week! Little did we know that revealing the name of our mascot would be literally an earthshaking moment – an earthquake occurring minutes before the naming of our Gator! Thank you for all you did to help make the morning as normal as possible in spite of the unusual circumstances. The earthquake, however, was nothing compared to the resounding cheers from students at the announcement of the name, “Allie Gator!” Thanks to everyone for your participation – submitting possible names, voting to determine the top three names and getting the final student votes. It will be fun to see Allie Gator at the Color Run today and at future GA events.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
