⚾️ Step up to the plate… it’s Teacher Appreciation Week! ⚾️

Today, we knocked it out of the park, celebrating our all-star staff! From classic concession stand snacks 🍿🌭 to a surprise visit from our mascot, it was a GRAND SLAM kind of day!

Thank you to our MVP teachers who show up every day, go the extra innings, and make a difference in every student’s game. We appreciate you more than peanuts and Cracker Jacks! 💙

April is the Month of the Military Family in Florida! Students and staff were asked to “Purple Up!” today, April 15, 2026, by wearing purple as a visible way to show support and thank military children. Purple was chosen because it is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military. It is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine Corps red, Space Force blue and Navy blue. Did you purple up? If so, post your photo on your personal social media page with #LCSPurpleUp2026
