It's been an honor for me as a parent to have my two children here. My son is only in second grade, but I believe that the dual language program is very powerful to be here in this community, and not only because they can continue with the same language that they learn at home, but I don't want them to lose that language. Aside from Dual Language, the AVID program has assisted both of my children in organizing their thoughts and their writing and help them strive academically.

I am a very gifted student, so they put me in the Dual Language class. When I first got here in pre-K, my first language was Spanish, so I did not know much English. Thanks to the Dual Language program, I would say my English is very good.

When we moved down here from Massachusetts, we weren't sure what the community was really going to look like. And my son has absolutely thrived coming to Boggy Creek and since transitioning to middle school. He's a straight-A student, and he's not afraid to advocate for himself, and that's one big thing here at Boggy Creek is that the students’ voices really matter.

My connection with Boggy Creek started a long time ago. I was a student here when we first moved to Kissimmee, so I started here in first grade and stayed through fifth grade. Now I get to see my boys go to school here and experience things and see how the school has grown in, you know, 25-plus years. It’s been really great to see all the opportunities that they get from coming to a school that’s as connected to the community as Boggy Creek is.

Boggy Creek is like a family to me because they are there for me and they help me when I'm sad or anxious.

That’s why I participate in drama club, so I can help myself learn those tactics and have better grades. I’m going to be going to Osceola County School for the Arts next year. It is a big jump from having two teachers to having seven, but Boggy Creek has prepared me for much in my future.

To be a manatee means being able to collaborate and work as a team, both from the parents’ perspective and the teachers’ perspective. We hold each other accountable because we both want them to succeed and to further their education. That's why we instill the AVID mindset in our classrooms.
