Announcements – Monday, February 2

Good afternoon, Blue Wave. Today is Monday, February 2, 2026  Traffic Patterns Students - listen up for an important message! Traffic patterns changed today. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time in the morning so that you are not late to class! Remember - if you are using the gym service road for drop-off, you should be getting out at the crosswalk and not the gym.  Black History Month Fact Hey Blue Wave and happy Black History Month from the Black Student Union, did you know there is a Florida state bill that advocates for black voter’s rights, which is named after Floridian civil rights activists Harry T. Moore and Harriette Moore who helped many black people become registered voters in the state of Florida. Battle of the Belts PK Yonge HOSA is hosting Battle of Belts, we are leading Bucholz and Gainesville High school with the highest percentage of drivers on our campus wearing seatbelts.  Good afternoon students! Did you know that wearing your safety belt is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself in a car? Safety belts can reduce the risk of serious injury or fatality in a crash by up to 50%. So the next time you get in a car, make sure to buckle up and stay safe!
