The Apes of Rm 71 & 73 were so proud today. Our own Mr. G was the recipient of the Gladys Prior Award. He was one of four Duval County Teachers to receive this award for 2009. It is given to teachers who make a "DIFFERENCE" in students' lives. We all know that Mr. G is a special influence in each of our lives.

Thank you Mr. G for all you do for us. We love you "always" & "all ways"!

Love you ....The Apes, Mrs. Whitelaw & Mrs. Pickle.....

We love you Mr. G...you make us soooo proud.....
