A heartfelt reception at Astatula Elementary last week brought together our past Bobcats and those at AES who helped shape them. Graduating seniors who attended Astatula from 2012–2019 returned to campus to reconnect with former teachers and staff, share memories, and celebrate this milestone together. 🎓💛

It was a joy to see former students laugh, swap stories, and thank the educators who supported them along the way— your visits remind us why we do this work.

Share your favorite memory of Astatula or a message for our returning seniors in the comments below! #AstatulaElementary #BobcatAlumni #OnceABobcatAlwaysABobcat

Large group photo of diverse high school seniors gathered indoors, most standing with a few crouching in front. Many wear ID badges. Decorations include gold and black balloons, trophies on the floor at right, and framed artwork on the walls. An American flag is visible at upper left. A prominent sign reads "CLASS OF 2026 SENIOR" and references "AYTILLA HIGH SCHOOL" and "Recently Returned Welcome," indicating this is a reunion or reception for returning alumni.

Rectangular white frosted celebration cake decorated with red icing flowers and green leaves, a black piped top border, and a red-and-white wavy base border. Red icing on top reads "Congratulations Graduates 2026." The cake sits on a red tablecloth patterned with black graduation caps; behind it are two festive centerpieces with metallic gold and silver tinsel and small "CONGRATS GRAD" cutouts.

Students mostly smile at the camera; several desks show name tags (examples: NOVA, SARA, SadieR, Landon, Skyler, Jude, L. EMMANUEL, Mason). Classroom walls display numeric ranges and posters; a clock, filing cabinet, and two wooden doors are visible on the right. A front-right desk holds a small plaque reading "Pamela Duke IT Teacher of the Year 2013–2014" and other miscellaneous items. The image captures a bright, organized learning environment and a group school photo.

Classroom scene in low light with small groups of students working at gray desks pushed together. Most students use phone flashlights or small lamps to read papers on their desks. Foreground left: a student with dark curly hair in a gray hoodie (partial "AKAN" text) leans over papers with a yellow spherical object beside them. Foreground right: two blonde students at a desk — one in a black top looking down at illuminated papers, the other smiling and holding a pencil; a pink "owala" water bottle, light pink tumbler, and phone sit nearby. Mid-ground and background: more students focused on worksheets by flashlight; one student on the right looks toward the camera brightly lit. Classroom details include light-colored walls, a sunflower decoration on a door, an American flag, and windows with dark blinds. Papers with grids and text are visible but unreadable from this distance.

Dimly lit classroom where students sit at individual desks using flashlights to illuminate worksheets. Ceiling acoustic tiles and vents are visible; a large projection screen or whiteboard sits at left. Back wall features a row of five sunflower cutouts, a clock, and a door with posted emergency contact text above it. Several students hold flashlights; one foreground student uses a red flashlight at right. A yellow smiling emoji overlays a student’s face in the lower-left foreground. Visible wall text above the door lists emergency numbers (POLICE 911, AMBULANCE 911, FIRE 911) and other unreadable phone numbers. A partially visible worksheet labeled with a form-like title (e.g., "EXAMINER II") appears on a desk.

Low-light classroom activity with students using phone flashlights and small lamps to work on worksheets. Foreground: a boy shines his phone flashlight at his work beside a girl wearing glasses; both focus on separate papers. To their right, girls use individual light sources — one with a flexible desk lamp held over her worksheet. Background shows more students similarly engaged. A yellow smiling emoji covers a distant student’s face. Visible worksheet text includes headings like "CLUES" with numbered lines, a "SUPPLY" grid containing letters (e.g., TISSUE) and numbers, and "TRANSFORM" grids with letter sequences; grid details are partially visible but not fully readable.

A person with long dark hair smiles for a selfie in a dim room lit by purple/blue blacklight. They wear a white T-shirt and a beaded necklace with some glowing beads. To the left, a monitor or TV screen displays the words “Glow Day!” in bright white letters surrounded by many colorful glowing circles (blue, red, green, yellow, pink, orange), suggesting glow sticks or rings. The scene feels festive and glow-themed.

A blacklight-lit room with students and bright neon decorations. Walls are trimmed with glowing circular and oval shapes in green, orange, red, and yellow. In the foreground, a table displays glowing geometric cutouts (a green parallelogram, blue trapezoid, red/light-blue/yellow triangles, and a red circle) and a sign reading “GEO SLIDE” (upside down from viewer). One person on the left wears a neon yellow shirt that fluoresces under the UV light. A wall sign partly reads “MINDSET.” The scene suggests a glow-themed, geometry-focused learning station.

Four children gather around a table in a classroom lit by blacklight, creating a strong blue hue. The table holds glowing orange cups and small glowing balls in green and pink/orange. Three boys wear fluorescent neon shirts (one shirt reads “GLOW”), which fluoresce brightly under the UV light. A wall clock (about 12:08–12:10), motivational posters, a dark door with a lit window, and a filing cabinet are visible in the background. A sign above a doorway displays motivational text: “ALL THINGS ARE DIFFICULT before they are EASY” and a classroom sign reading “THIS ROOM 610 MRS. / MR. [line]’S CLASS.”

A group of children or teens in a dim blacklight room where neon blues and greens glow. In the center, a person seen from behind wears a glowing green strap. On a table in front, a stack of Jenga blocks glows; a circular sign above the table reads “Jenga.” The back wall features glowing patterns and the word “GLOW!” Ceiling T-shaped glowing elements and glowing cards or papers on the table suggest a glow-themed game night.

A classroom bathed in blue/purple blacklight with a disco-ball–style light casting red, green, and blue patterns on the ceiling. Neon paper garlands in bright pink, green, and orange hang across the drop ceiling and glow vividly. A bright white light source and various ceiling vents and fixtures are visible. A wall clock and directional signs appear on the walls; one wall shows the quote “ALL THINGS ARE DIFFICULT before they are EASY.” The overall scene shows decorations and lighting for a glow event.

A room lit by blue UV light showing activity stations and game materials. Paper strips with numbers (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 88, 99, 110, 121, 132) are taped to a wall. A glowing green arrow on a door points down to “Ring Toss.” A box or sign in the foreground reads “IT’S GLOW!” Stacks of labeled cards (“ORANGE CARDS,” “SPUD CARDS,” and partially visible green cards) and glow sticks sit on a table. Three people stand in the room; several dark bottles with glowing green tops are arranged on the floor, likely for a game. The image conveys a glow-in-the-dark event with organized stations.

A group portrait of about 20 diverse preteen children standing in rows indoors with an adult not visible. A large two-tiered trophy with red columns and a gold figure tops a dark base and sits behind the group. The room has a light brick-patterned wall, a green poster on the left reading “Be Awesome TODAY,” and shelves with books and school supplies on the right labeled “LEFT SIDE” and “RIGHT SIDE.” A partially obscured poster behind the trophy reads “COMPETING CLASS OF THE WEE[K] GREAT.” Children wear casual clothes with visible text and logos (examples: a white jersey reading “Capelli cape SPORTS,” an orange hoodie reading “FLORIDA GATORS,” a dark pink t‑shirt reading “NEW YORK CITY AEROPOSTALE,” a gray camouflage Under Armour shirt, and a yellow t‑shirt with “OX” in the design).

Vibrant elementary classroom with colorful alphabet cards and learning posters on a whiteboard. A smiling teacher wearing a green “AATULA ELEMENTARY BOBCA PRIDE” T‑shirt and a white “CRAZY DOG LADY” cap stands with three young children, all wearing green shirts. The whiteboard displays a May calendar, a “What We Use To Learn” poster (looking eyes, listening ears, voices soft, waiting hands, kind feet), a voice level chart, and a daily schedule. A blue rug with letters and bright shapes covers the floor; a yellow school bus cutout hangs from the ceiling.

Classroom photo of a female teacher standing with nine young students on a colorful circular alphabet rug. The teacher wears a patterned blouse; the diverse group of children stand in front of her smiling at the camera. Alphabet strips and educational charts line the walls. A whiteboard shows a learning goal about phonemic awareness and a numbers 1–100 chart; bright, welcoming classroom environment.

Group photo in a classroom with dim blue lighting and a large screen behind reading “Glow.” About 15 children and one adult pose together; many wear neon or brightly colored shirts and glow accessories like bracelets. Several children and the adult give thumbs up, conveying excitement and celebration of the themed event.

Photo of a classroom group portrait: a smiling female teacher stands at the back wearing a light green T‑shirt and jeans; seven young children sit and kneel in front of her, most dressed in green or green‑toned clothing. The classroom walls behind them display colorful educational charts and posters, including an alphabet strip with pictures, a large word‑family chart (examples: -old, -all, -ake, -ick, -ing, -ank, -ed, -est, -eat, -in, -ip, -it), a phonics keywords chart (Aa apple through Zz zebra and lists of digraphs, vowel teams, r‑controlled vowels, and ending sounds), and a partial number chart. A circular rug with letters and numbers is on the floor. The scene conveys a cheerful elementary classroom participating in a “Be Seen in Green” activity for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Indoor pancake breakfast scene with five adults gathered around a long table covered in a light green tablecloth. Two men in black polos are near the griddles — one smiling and giving a thumbs-up, the other pouring pancake batter — while a man in a green t-shirt at the table end adds toppings (syrup, whipped cream, strawberries) to a plated pancake. In the background, a woman in a plaid shirt laughs holding a red folder and another woman in blue is partially visible. The table holds two electric griddles, pancake ingredients, syrup (Pearl Milling Company), a jar of Nutella, promotional koozies, and flyers. Shelves of instructional materials (including "Foundations / Language Basics" boxes for grades K, 2, 3) and a bulletin board with notes are visible behind them.
