🐯 Miller’s Minute – Week of October 27th
Hello Gulf Gate Families!
We have an exciting few weeks ahead at Gulf Gate, full of learning, celebration, and Tiger pride!
❤️ Red Ribbon Week
This week we celebrate Red Ribbon Week, an annual campaign focused on helping students learn about making healthy and responsible choices. Our goal is to support families as we guide children toward positive decision-making that keeps them safe and strong.
You can learn more about the videos shown in class and Sarasota County’s required instruction by visiting the Resiliency Education and Required Instruction section on the Sarasota County Schools website.
🎃 Halloween Reminder
While we honor your right to celebrate Halloween at home, we kindly ask that students do not wear costumes of any kind to school this week. We want to ensure all students feel safe, comfortable, and focused on learning. Thank you for helping us maintain a positive learning environment for everyone.
🇺🇸 Veterans Day Celebration – Friday, November 7th
We are thrilled to announce our first-ever Veterans Day Celebration! Students are invited to bring a Veteran they know and love, or to carry a photo or hand-drawn picture of a Veteran to honor during our Veterans Parade around campus.
📅 Friday, November 7th – 9:00 AM
👨👩👧 Families are welcome to attend, but must pre-register for the event.
👕 Students and staff should wear red, white, and blue!
More detailed information will be coming home soon. We look forward to this meaningful morning of honor and gratitude.
