Gaines 4th Grade Hispanic Heritage Essay Contest

We are proud of our outstanding 4th grade students at Samuel S. Gaines Academy of Emerging Technologies. The pictured students (Leon Cloud Jr, Ivori Young, Raziyah Johnson, Anaila Ponce, Urbaid Rahman & Cynthia Rios) were able to complete and submit entries to Governor Ron DeSantis’ and First Lady DeSantis’ Hispanic Heritage Month essay contest, with the theme “Celebrating Hispanic-American Community Leaders and Champions.” These students have been supported by our amazing 4th grade teachers: Ms. Argote, Ms. Figueredo, Ms. Gleason, and Ms. Young. We are proud of our Colts and look forward to the winners of this contest being announced, as they will receive a 4-Year Florida College Plan scholarship provided by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation.
