UPDATE: Gator Gallop 5K and Kids’ Fun Run/Pledge Drive

We have made the necessary decision to officially cancel this year’s 7th annual Gator Gallop 5K, which was to be held on April 4th. However, in an effort to provide an opportunity for our students, especially this year’s 4th graders, to have the Gator Gallop experience, we will still be holding our Student Pledge Drive and Kids’ 1-Mile Fun Run — virtually, of course! Read this post for all the details.
