Hello everyone. Wanted to let you know about this event.
As many of you know, Lake Cormorant is a fairly new school, and they’re busting at the seams! They currently hold grades 7th – 11th, and they are anxiously anticipating the completion of the new high school. The students would like to open it this upcoming school year with tons of Gator spirit! With all the budget cuts our Governor issued for education, it will be very difficult for the school to provide the instructional materials,as well as materials needed to create a memorable high school experience for all the students.
Lake Cormorant, like many schools, is full of hard-working, supportive parents and staff that desire the absolute best for their students academically and socially. The responsibility required to provide students with the tools to be successful in life weighs heavily on the teachers and administrators of Lake Cormorant. They take great pride in seeing their students excel. There are many tools that are needed to help these teachers give these kids everything they need to succeed. Unfortunately, not all of these tools can be provided with school allotted funds. So, they are asking for your help, and that’s why we’ve decided to have this year’s event to benefit the school directly.
Gators Rock the Cause was started by my wife and a co-worker (both Lake Cormorant teachers) last year to help raise money for a student in need. Last year we raised more than $3,000 for a student with MS. His family was in need of a chair-lift for the family van. The event was a huge success, and those involved exceeded all expectations in their support.
This year we do not have a student to raise money for, as they did not want their name put out there. So we’ve done several outside fund-raisers for them throughout the course of this year. Therefore, this year’s event will go directly to Lake Cormorant High School. There will be food, fun, and games for the whole family. There will also be a LIVE CONCERT by The Living Dayligths !!!
Doors open at 6:30pm and the show will start at 7pm. Bring all your friends and family out to have a great time, and at the same time, support your local school system.
Tickets are $4 now or $5 at the door. Donations are also accepted.
All checks should be made out to Lake Cormorant Student Council.
