By David Cutler

Earlier today, the entire community gathered on the field to celebrate Earth Day. Older students partnered with younger students to build paper cup banks, which will be used to collect money for planting trees. Next week, The Gator will write more about these efforts, which are being spearheaded by science teacher Jill Iuliano.
