🧠💛 It’s National School Psychology Week, and Lakeside has someone special to celebrate—our school Mental Health Counselor, Sandy Gonzalez-Panzo!
Supporting students takes patience, teamwork, and a whole lot of heart. Sandy, thank you for helping our Gators work through challenges, supporting our staff and families, and keeping students’ needs at the center of the conversation. We appreciate the work you do, including the parts that don’t always get seen.
Gator Nation, help us show Ms. Gonzalez-Panzo some love this week! 🐊💛

🔎 Don’t let the snack bags fool you—there’s some serious learning happening here!
Today, students in Mrs. Hube’s Family & Consumer Sciences class became food detectives for The Great Food Label Investigation! Working through investigation stations, students examined familiar foods, compared Nutrition Facts labels, calculated calories, sugar, and sodium, and recorded evidence in their detective case files.
Their mission: look beyond the packaging and figure out what the numbers actually mean. Does one package equal one serving? How can we compare different-sized snacks fairly? Can we back up our choices with facts?
Reading, math, teamwork, and critical thinking—all connected to decisions students can make every day. And yes, the chips came with homework. 😉🐊

We are officially a Purple Star District! 💜⭐️
Today, on Veterans Day, the Florida Department of Education announced that Clay County District Schools has been designated as a Purple Star District for our commitment to military families, making us one of ONLY 9 school districts in the entire state of Florida to earn this prestigious honor!
To achieve district-wide recognition, at least 75% of a district's schools must earn their individual Purple Star School of Distinction status. We are thrilled to share that ALL of our eligible OneClay schools are now officially Purple Star Schools!
This recognition reflects our dedicated, year-round commitment to supporting our military families and their students. We understand the unique transitions and challenges that come with military life, and we work every day to provide a welcoming, supportive, and empowering educational environment for the children of those who serve our country.
To our military families: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for trusting us with your students' education. We are so proud to stand with you! ❤️🤍💙
