100 Years of Football
8
This year marks the historic 100th year of football at Fort Myers
High School. Please join us for Sam Sirianni Night on August 23rd
for the kickoff of our 2019 Football season. We will be honoring and
remembering the players and coaches that built the foundation of the
football program at Fort Myers High. Historic memorabilia will be on
display and meet and greets with former players will take place prior
to the game.
IB Summer CAS Trip
This summer was our first CAS Community Service trip abroad. Our Junior IB students
traveled to beautiful Costa Rica and completed 35 hours working side by side with Costa Ricans
to build a kitchen for a local community center. In addition to community service learning, students
participated in team-building skills and reflection activities focused specifically on how we can use
global experiences to act locally within our community. Students applied what they have learned
in Spanish class to communicate authentically with Costa Ricans and gained confidence in their
language skills. Throughout the trip, students engaged in various cultural experiences such as
chocolate production, folkloric dance, environmental discussions on biodiversity, observation of
local wildlife, and a trip to the hot springs. Students were fully immersed in language, service,
culture, and adventure including zip lining through the Costa Rican rainforest and white water
rafting on the Sarapiqui River. This trip gave our students the opportunity to explore as travelers
and use their CAS experience to gain global perspective.
