 We are excited to announce the recipient of our May "Living Within Our Values" award: Mrs. Summer Nicklas! 

"Mrs. Nicklas, a veteran teacher of CCPS, championed a new initiative called Tarpons for our Troops, providing care packages for Tarpon Alumni soldiers currently deployed overseas in our nation's military. Parents rallied behind the cause, offering logistical support and encouragement. School staff provided organizational assistance, ensuring smooth execution. Students inspired by their teacher's passion mobilized to collect supplies and letters. Local businesses contributed resources and support. Tarpon Alumni enthusiastically joined in, strengthening the bond between past and present students. Through one teacher's vision, this initiative united the school community and reinforced the enduring legacy of Tarpon Alumni."
