This school year continues to move quickly as we are now well into week two of the second nine weeks already and opening up the month of November on Friday. We released report cards for the first quarter today. Please be sure to review your child's grades ahead of tomorrow's Conference Night.

As for this issue, we are turning into a month with a number of special events on the schedule. Please take careful note of upcoming dates that may apply specifically to your family as well as those that apply to everyone like this Thursday's Book Character Parade and November 15th's Family Movie Night!

I hope this edition finds your week going well and, as always, thank you very much for your active participation and support. See you at the Book Character Parade Thursday at 2:00 pm!

In Tiger Pride,

Generation WOW Orlando 
 
Generation WOW Orlando is an annual event that exposes girls to the positive and the possible by creating opportunities that help build the future leaders of the world by connecting them to the leaders of today. Generation WOW is a truly magical day where girls and women from across the region connect to inspire, educate and motivate each other.

For last year's event and to get an idea about Generation WOW Orlando, click the short video created by our Orange Technical College Students!

Focused on self-confidence, career pathways, independence, healthy living, leadership, and mentorship, the goal of Generation WOW is to provide a trusted and inspiring experience that will forge relationships, inspire dreams, and deliver results that enhance lives.
