The family of Anthony Nicolaou, the Archer Lodge community, baseball teammates, students and friends, gathered for the Make-A-Wish Foundation sponsored car show at Archer Lodge Middle on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. The event was held in honor of Nicolaou’s wish, who loved fancy and vintage cars.
The 140 cars made a lap around the school beeping their horns and revving their engines to the delight of the students as they waved at the drivers.

Gator Families,
The glow dance ends at 5:30. Please arrive a little early so that we can get you in line for a smooth exit. We will dismiss as close to 5:30 as we can.
6th and 7th Graders will dismiss from the back of the school. 8th grade students dismiss from the front. If a student has a younger sibling they will go with the older sibling.
Please bring your carpool tags. If you do not have one a staff member will provide one. Pickup will function like our normal carpool in the back.
Thank you and see you this evening!
