Good afternoon, Blue Wave. Today is Thursday, September 11, 2025 9/11 Rememberance  Today is September 11th, a day of remembrance in our nation’s history. On this day in 2001, the United States experienced tragic events that forever changed our country. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost, and countless more were impacted. September 11th is now recognized as Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. It is a time to honor the lives lost, to recognize the bravery of first responders, and to reflect on the importance of unity and compassion. As we move through our day, let’s take a moment to remember the value of kindness, service to others, and standing together as a community.  Thank you, and let’s continue to take care of one another.  One Wave.  One Family.  Congrats Volleyball Congratulations to the varsity volleyball team who defeated Fort White 3 sets to 0 last night.
