What's Cool in Our Schools

Winter Springs Elementary Student Government


Winter Springs Elementary School has 21 amazing student leaders ready to make a difference this year. With the help of their sponsors Ms. Betris and Mrs. Walters, students are developing leadership skills, engaging in school governance, and contributing to their school community. Through student government, students at Winter Springs Elementary can voice their ideas, collaborate on initiatives, and take an active role in shaping their school environment at a young age. We are excited to see the impact these students will have on their school!

Millennium Middle School Artists on Display

Millennium Middle School's Graphic Design students were invited by The Ritz Theater in Sanford, FL to showcase their artwork and talent. This is a wonderful example of our community creating connection with our students and showcasing their incredible talent. Can you believe these are middle school artists? We can't wait to see how their skills develop in the coming years. Way to go, Falcons.

Indian Trails Middle School Gets into the Spirit of the Season


In celebration of the book fair this week, each day had a specific theme at Indian Trails Middle School. Friday's spirit day theme was "Freaky Friday" where teachers dressed like students, and students dressed like teachers. What a fun-filled and spooky theme!

In the Spotlight

Lake Howell Athletes Honor Teacher

Jillian Rodriguez, a teacher at Lake Howell High School, received the "Extra Yard for Teachers" game day ball signed by the entire Lake Howell football team.


Ms. Rodriguez works hard to support her students in their achievement in the classroom and also serves as the sponsor for Honor Society. Rodriguez is a big fan of all things "Silverhawk," and the team loved recognizing her with this special gift to acknowledge how she steps up for her students.

Each October, National Principals Month recognizes the essential role that principals play in making a school great. Principals are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. SCPS would like to recognize and thank of all hardworking principals that impact our students and school!

Walker Elementary School Safety Team and Staff Save the Day


In a true show of community spirit, the staff from Walker Elementary along with the School Resource Deputy and Crossing Guard came together to purchase a bicycle for one of their students whose bike was stolen.


Thank you to every person who made this possible, and for the way you care for our students.

Layer Elementary Celebrates "Rock Your School" Day


Students at Layer Elementary received a wonderful surprise to finish out their "Rock Your School" day. Layer is celebrating their 20th anniversary of "Growing Greatness."


Special guests from the Winter Springs High School Honeybears Dance Team came to Layer to welcome students with high fives, music, and dancing. Some of the dancers were once Layer students themselves! What a sweet treat, and an awesome way to send a week out in style.
