WHAT A FEAST!

Courtesy Photos Montage By MARIA TRUJILLO Wauchula Elementary first graders had a lot to be thankful for as they recently had an early Thanksgiving feast. They came together to celebrate the day and dine on traditional Thanksgiving fare. They left with full bellies and hearts.

COCOA COUNTERS

COURTESY PHOTO Kindergartners in Ashley Rigney's class at Hilltop Elementary School used marsh- mallows as a fun aid in solving addition problems. The mini version of the sweet treat was the perfect size for the countdown, then everyone enjoyed some hot cocoa afterward as a reward for their hard work.

WHO’S THAT CHARACTER?

FALL FUNDRAISER COURTESY PHOTOS MONTAGE BY DARLENE WILLIAMS Bowling Green Elementary recently held its "Fall into Lit- eracy Night" with a bounty of games, a cake walk, a spaghetti dinner, a book fair, a raffle and a poster contest. Courtney Durham and her committee spearheaded the event, which is the school’s biggest fundraiser each year, the money going toward student incentives. Poster-contest winners were Ethne Martinez, Dakoda McQuaig and Bodhi Derringer, who each got to throw a pie in a teacher’s face. Students and staff had previously voted on which teachers by casting penny “votes” into willing staffers’ buckets. The “winners,” if you want to call them that, were Coach Phil Rasmussen, Principal Kathy Clark and Assistant Principal Stuart Durastanti. COURTESY PHOTO Karyna Gomez was the first student to successfully read and complete the quizzes of all fifteen of the Sun- shine State Young Readers Award Jr. books (Grades K-2) for the 2017-18 school year. For her outstanding achievement, the first grader at Bowling Green Ele- mentary received the first grade Sunshine Reader trophy, a Sunshine Reader pencil, bumper sticker and wristband.

PHOTO BY JIM KELLY Patti Ragan spoke to the Hardee Rotary Club on Wednesday, Nov. 8, about the Cen- ter For Great Apes located east of Wauchula. She founded the center after coming to Hardee County in 1997 from a position with the Miami Zoo. She loves the envi- ronment, nature and animals. This is a sanctuary with 21 orangutans and 27 chim- panzees. Apes have no tails. Orangutans are very smart. There are 16 big enclosures on 30 acres for the apes, a total of 120 acres overall. Three more enclosures will be built. She considered 240 properties before choosing the location in Hardee. The center has an annual budget of $1.6 million, a paid staff of 27, 50 volunteers, a one-acre garden, and $8 million invested in the property and complex. The most famous ape is Bubbles, once owned by the late singer Michael Jackson. The Jackson estate now give $25,000 a year for Bubbles' upkeep. Buying produce costs $1,200 a week. Their favorite greens are collards, kale and romaine letuce. Jack Hanna and Jane Goodall have visited the center. There will be an open house Saturday, Dec. 9, from 12:30 to 3:30. Apes live 50 to 60 years. All are rescued apes, from the entertainment industry, circuses, research labs, and the exotic pet trade. COURTESY PHOTOS The center is funded by donations.

The Hardee County campus along U.S. 17 north of Wauchula is becoming a center for health sciences/healthcare, adult education (GED), and dual enrollment. Some 31 percent of SFSC students are His- panic. Many students are in STEM programs (science, technology, engineering and math).

CAREFUL CROSSERS

WILL READ FOR FOOD!

COURTESY PHOTOS MONTAGE BY DARLENE WILLIAMS Wauchula Elementary School fifth graders who reached their Accelerated Reader goal for the first nine-week grad- ing period were treated to a breakfast prepared by their teachers. Accelerated Reader is a program that encourages reading to increase students' compre- hension level in all that they tackle. The breakfast took care of any increased ap- petites they may have had that morning!

COURTESY PHOTO The Town of Zolfo Springs recently took measures to make it a bit safer for students to make their way to school. They purchased a stop sign for Coach Dennis Tondee to use in the mornings at the crosswalk. Zolfo Springs Elementary is thankful for this gift that will surely come in handy during those early morning.
