Field Day was a huge success for our students and volunteers! Our students were challenged to “go the distance” by completing the 13 stations, providing a day of fun in the sun. Thank you to Coach Alvarez and Coach Nieves for the organization and excellence of this event. We also want to thank the dozens of parent volunteers and staff.

The fourth- and fifth-grade students sang and danced through the decades during their performance, We Got the Beat, at the Lake Nona High School Performing Arts Center. The house was packed, and the performance provided a night to remember. Thank you to our special area teachers for making this such an amazing tradition!

Our Historical Math Night, sponsored by Richard Varner of GO REALTY, was a fun-filled night of math activities. Families were immersed in learning as they participated in math activities involving timelines, calculating currency, problem-solving, math games, math art, and logic puzzles. Families were welcomed by Abe Lincoln (Mr. Rach, Lake Nona High School history teacher). Our partnership with Mathnasium of Lake Nona, Orange County Regional History Center, and Marco’s Pizza helped create an unforgettable event. We also appreciate the Lake Nona High School Key Club, PTA, and Sun Blaze teachers for volunteering as station facilitators.

Thank you, PTA, for hosting the Family Dance, Light Up the Night, at Innovation Middle School. The evening was packed with glow sticks, ’80s dance music, friends and family. We want to thank Dr. Maestre for sharing the Innovation Middle School campus with us.

We would like to invite the Lake Nona community to follow our social media links to stay connected with all that is happening at Sun Blaze Elementary. The website address is https://sunblazees.ocps.net, and you can follow us on Facebook at Sun Blaze Elementary.

Go, Stingrays!
