February's Florida Resiliency Character Trait is GRIT
This month, our focus turns to Grit, a cornerstone of Florida’s Resiliency initiative. Grit is defined as passion and perseverance toward long-term goals—it is the inner strength to keep going even when things get difficult. By cultivating this trait, we encourage our students to view challenges not as roadblocks, but as opportunities to grow, proving that success is often a marathon, not a sprint.

A massive congratulations to Enzo Bonarrigo, who not only passed but achieved the highest score! We are incredibly proud of these talented designers.
STEAM Expo - Rising 6th Graders
Future students and their families packed the Odyssey gymnasium this week for an energetic STEAM Expo designed to showcase the unique spirit of our campus. Rising 6th graders explored a diverse array of interactive displays, ranging from the technical wonders of robotics, science, and gaming to the creative talents of our orchestra, fine art, and commercial art programs, and even our hands-on farming projects. It was an inspiring evening that gave these future students a first-hand look at the incredible opportunities awaiting them at Odyssey.
Technology - Then and Now
The Technology Then & Now project was a remarkable achievement by the students, showcasing their ability to bridge historical perspectives with modern innovation. Through detailed research and creative presentations, they highlighted the evolution of technology from its early beginnings to today’s advanced systems. The project not only demonstrated their technical understanding but also emphasized critical thinking and collaboration. By comparing past inventions with current advancements, the students provided valuable insights into how technological progress shapes society, making this initiative both educational and inspiring.

Nacho Average Students Deserve Nacho Average Rewards!
We recently celebrated some truly Nacho Average Students with a special Nacho Fest from Moe’s Southwest Grill and the smiles were as big as the plates!

More than just a meal, the event sent a powerful message: improvement counts, and every step forward is worth cheering. We are so proud of our students for leveling up academically and showing that they are, without question, Nacho Average. Keep up the great work, we can’t wait to celebrate even more success next time!
