Wicklow Elementary Global Pathways Magnet Students Get Business Savvy

The amazing third-graders at Wicklow Elementary Global Pathways Magnet put their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to work at their recent Trade Fair. As part of their social studies unit on supply and demand, students designed their own goods and services, set up shop, and experienced the excitement of buying, selling, and trading.

From handmade crafts to clever services, their booths were full of innovation and energy. It was a fantastic hands-on way to bring learning to life, and they had a blast doing it!

Lakeside United Methodist Church Partners with SCPS to Teach Our Students the Power of Reading

Thank you to our Partner in Education, Lakeside United Methodist Church, for recruiting so many volunteers and for hosting a special RAP (Reading Acceleration Program) training for us! 

33 volunteers were trained to support first-graders in SCPS with reading by providing a listening ear and encouragement. Lakeside United Methodist Church has been an excellent partner with SCPS over the years, and we are thankful for your continued support of our students and schools.

This is Dr. Mickey Reynolds' 13th year as an SCPS principal, currently serving at Lake Mary High School. When asked about her favorite part of being a principal, she replied, "I absolutely love being a principal. I have an incredible staff and amazing students, and I learn something new from them every day. For me, it's all about supporting the teachers and students and encouraging them to be their best selves."

A unique and heartwarming fact about Dr. Reynolds, her ties to Lake Mary High run three generations deep. Her father was the school’s first principal, she later attended as a student, and now serves as principal herself. Most recently, her daughter graduated with the Class of 2025. It’s safe to say Dr. Reynolds knows Lake Mary High like the back of her hand!

Dr. Reynolds, thank you for the lasting impact your family has made at Lake Mary High. We’re honored to have you leading with such dedication and heart. Your legacy is an inspiration to the entire SCPS community.
