David Acosta and Gary Gale-Shelton t I t K. Yonge, we have a dif-
-'f-erent kind of family tree.
Our lines connect, cross, and
split in hundreds of ways, but
they never seem to end.
There is a special relation-
ship between our classmates,
teachers and coaches that
creates a "comfort zone." El-
ementary kids, middle school
youngsters and big bad high
schoolers have a special bond
that students at other schools
do not share.
We've all had that one crazy
teacher, we've felt the butter-
flies when we stepped onto the
field, and we all remember the
joys of recess.
n IHI D.. 3, ,,w lu E.n The great thing about our
bond is that it's not just be-
tween the lifers; even new stu-
dents feel the family love. Stu-
dents can always find a friend
to laugh with, a shoulder to cry
on, and a sibling to love in our
extended family.

STUDENT LIFE
Six hours a day, 180 days out of the
year, school was a student's life.
However, despite all the rules students
were expected to follow, they found a
way to maintain their own individuality.
This freedom meant a great deal to stu-
dents of all ages.
Summer vacation was the starting %
point for finding true passions. As the ''
school year started, lives began to take w. '
summer their shape. Lives outside of school
were different due to heritage and family .,
traditions. Inside of school, homecom- '
ing events, choices of fashion and cars -

ties that bind
FAMILY & HERITAGE
Related or not, many students consider
the people around them to be like fam-
ily. But for some, the connection is closer
than others.
We have families within the P.K. family,
including ISS supervisor Betty Richardson
and her three grandchildren, staff accoun-
tant Sherrie Sullivan and her twin daugh-
ters, and world history teacher Courtney
Shannon and her two younger brothers.
Shannon said it's no problem having
her younger brother Jordan as a student.
"I actually think it's harder for him to be
in my class than it is for me," she said. "He
knows he can't misbehave and that he has
to do his homework."
There are also many students who have
siblings, cousins, and other relatives they
see throughout the school day.
We have students from many differ-
ent backgrounds. When we stop and look
around at the people that gather in the hall-
ways, we see that even though none of us
might look the same, we are all a family.

GATOR SMILES: Betty
Richardson is all smiles
when it comes to being
with her three grand-
children, Riley Delucas,
Drew Outcalt, and Callen
Delucas. "It's so special
to be at the same school
as my grandchildren. It's
special for me to bring
them to school and take
them home and hear all
their stories of the day.
They're the third gen-
eration to attend P.K."
said Richardson, who
has been at P.K. since
1981. Her three kids all
graduated from P.K. in
the years 1988, 1991,
and 1992. Even her late
husband, Lamar Richard-
son, graduated from P.K.
in 1963.

CARS AND JOBS
High school students long for a
nice car that everyone is going
to be amazed by. However, in order
to get the ride they want, they are
often forced to get a job.
Many students take part in this
cycle of economics. They work in all
different areas of Alachua County,
from horse farms to Publix. Even
though the students slave for the
money, the outcome is worth it. They
are able to have awesome cars.

When the sun rose on game day, students
could be found covered in blue and white, plas-
tered with paint, sporting school attire, or just
plain decked out for Spirit Day.
Getting to miss their first class of the day, stu-
dents and faculty made their way to the streets
passing through school to get themselves ready
for the Homecoming Day parade. Once the pa-
rade began, many students and alumni made an
appearance as they passed by friends, family,
faculty, elementary, middle and high school peers
while boasting their pride for THE WAVE.
"The parade was good and the parade com-
mittee did an awesome job this year!" said junior
Danielle Marston.

was seen among the students as they sluggishly
made their way back to their classes.

The students, teachers and staff at
P.K. work together to make school
more than just math, science and Eng-
lish. Instead, we are a community of
friends and mentors that collaborate to
make learning meaningful and life-cen-
tered.
The students are more like a family
than just a student population.
The fact that we are a K-12 school is
one of our best attributes. The younger
children look up to the high school kids.
Therefore, students have the responsi-
bility of setting the best examples they
can in the classroom, through the halls
and on the field.

JUNIORS
M any people agree that junior year is the
most challenging and frustrating year
of high-school. Senioritis is already begin-
ning to take its toll. Advanced Placement
classes began to fill students' schedules.
"AP American History was definitely the
most difficult," said Katherine Harris.
With the huge responsibility of choosing
prospective colleges looming in the near fu-
ture, preparations for the SAT and ACT filled
many students' free time. Nonetheless, they
were able to make time for plenty of fun-
filled weekends.
The new freedom juniors experienced
was quite refreshing, often including a lat-
er curfew or even a car. "It's so great be-
ing able to drive myself where I want to go,"
said Krista Nordqvist.
Some juniors chose to take advantage
of the opportunity to dual enroll at Santa Fe
Community College. "I love the freedom,
but I really miss P.K." said Jarred Shannon.
With senior year knocking at their doors,
each and every member of the Class of 2008
is eager to see what the future holds.

differ greatly.
While both brothers play football, in the

sticks to America's pasttime, baseball.
Zach plays video games of the military and
sports genre in his spare time; Jarad occu-
pies himself by listening to rap.
BACK TO BACK: Until
Jarad grew out his hair,
only those who knew the
Dorsey twins very well
could tell them apart. In
other words, these two
make up one of a few sets

Zach is two minutes older and MUCH
more outspoken. Jarad is only loud around
people he knows and greatly enjoys sit-

Thanksgiving.
Zach is a dog guy, Jarad is a cat guy.
Zach loves M&Ms and shuns Skittles,

W hat is it like being a sophomore? That's
a question that is difficult to answer.
Sophomore year doesn't have the same
effect on students as starting high school
freshman year.
Some students expressed their feelings
about how being a sophomore this year was
different from being a freshman.
"You can finally look back at the year
below you and say, 'Now wait until you go
through what I had to go through!"' said
Sam Lawson.
Another student, Brittney Kelly, said she
thinks that sophomores had more opportu-
nities than freshmen did.
Being a sophomore means being one
year closer to finally going out into the world
and deciding what you want to be. Students
started finding out which activities-such as
the arts, sports or academics-they wanted
to pursue until graduation.
Sophomores also got to experience
more freedom, such as by getting a driver's
license. This year was about having fun with
friends and making new memories while
learning more about who you are and who
you want to be.

SHOWING SPIRIT: Brandon
Boothby, Cooper McNiel, Thomas
Burns, Justin Broiles. Samuel
Gustafson, Michael Andrews and
Cody Dow enjoy the Homecoming
Parade while sporting their spirit.
The freshman year of high school
can be the most frustrating and
stressful year.
Many people have common mis-
conceptions about it; others have
fears about it, and most are just ex-
cited to be out of middle school and
into "the big leagues."
"Well, first off, sweetie, middle
school was so boring and you have
more freedom in high school, and
yes, the classes are much harder,"
said Hillary Scott. "You have a lot
more work and harder tests and
quizzes. Plus, you can't turn in late
work."
Other students who were in-
volved in sports, such as Kai Sim-
mons, had a similar view regarding
sports and academics.
"It's hard at times because erif
will be some big projects and yoL

SEVENTH GRADE
Being in seventh grade has its ups and downs.
You're not on the bottom of the food chain, but
you're not on the top either. You have managed
to escape the wrath of Mr. Steele and his science
class, only to run right into the iron fist of Mrs. Weller
for math.
One thrill included with being a seventh grader
was Puc Puggy Day. This is a day when students
get to go back in time and live like their ancestors
did (in the days before video games and refrigera-
tors). "You get to live in the past for a day. It's a re-
ally exciting experience," said Bunmi Fayiga.
The Class of 2012 cooked their own food over
an open fire they started with two pieces of flint, put
on a reenactment for the elementary school, and
played a very old-school version of lacrosse, all in
costume. Talk about a good time!
The teachers were very tolerant and under-
standing of the amount of energy these guys have
to suppress every day. The seventh grade English
teacher, Greg Cunningham (who indulges his stu-
dents with Puc Puggy Day), when asked why he
teaches seventh grade, responded: "Someone has
to love them."
Cunningham received very fond responses from
his students. "We have much better teachers this
year ... and a lot more homework," said Gregorio
Suarez.
The seventh grade experience is what you make
of it. Excited about taking one big step and being
back on top and unsure of the possibility of taking
high-school level courses, seventh grade is one big
challenge. This year, the Class of 2012 was ready
to make the most of it, driving their teachers insane
along the way!
MY OPINION: "I like seventh
grade. It's nice having lockers this
year. The work may be harder,
but overall this is better than last
year," said Zachary Aaronson.
SMILE! These seventh graders are all
smiles at lunch. Front: Sam Bailey, Cam-
eron Hellstrom, Travis Gilbert, Anthony
Hutchinson. Middle: Taylor Roberts. Back:
Pierce Skidmore, Riley Fulton, Brandon
Pointdexter, Julie Boe, Jeanne Landry.

SIXTH GRADE
Emerging from the top of elementary
school ranks, the Class of 2013 reached
the bottom of the middle school.
As sixth graders they no longer must
patrol the hallways or move along in lines.
They now boast the freedom to roam to their
classes freely and independently much like
they will one day do in high school.
Kristen Washington enjoys the freedom
she gets as a sixth grader. "I really like all my
teachers. I have a lot more responsibilities
but it's still fun," she said.
They sit in class wound up with energy,
still grasping on to the realization that they
no longer have recess but tons of work to
do. These little bundles of energy take their
chances by horseplaying in the halls hoping
they won't get caught by Dr. Froman.
Soon moving on to the center of middle
school, these kids will mature, be apprecia-
tive and embrace the years to come with
the P.K. family.
DELIBERATING DINERS: Kirsten Washington, Alli
Mathews and Garret Westlake spend their lunch time hang-
ing out and deliberating over which class is their favorite.
what's the best thing
about sixth grade?
"Having pizza for lunch "Going anywhere at
all the time." lunch."
Ethan Williams Aidan Kelliher
A TIME FOR EVERYTHING: Joshua Johnson and Van Turner
believe there is a time for joking and a time to be serious.
SIMILAR SIBLINGS: Twins Danyell and Da-
vid Byrd are happy to have the same birthday.
SITTING STILL: Dylan Casacci, Je'rod
Sheppard, Sir Jackson and Keith Kelsey wait
patiently for the Homecoming Parade.
Ei PEOPLE
TEACHING THE EAGER: English teacher Betsy
Creveling and Crystal Waters enjoy each other's
company. "The best aspect of these sixth graders is
that they are eager to learn," Creveling said.

Whether students are taking phys-
ics, english or algebra, academics
are the reason we all come to school
day in and day out.
For seniors coming to school and
sitting through class, most of them by
the end of the day say in their minds,
"It's another day closer to when I grad-
uate and go off to college."
For the rest of the school, it's just a
physics regular day taking us closer to the end
of the year and that oh-so-anticipated
summer vacation and the opportunity
to relax away from school.
Yet, as we go through the days
114 leading to those events, we all must sit
through class and do what we do best,
learn.

M any students this year said their math
class pushed them harder then they
had ever been pushed before. Despite this,
the teachers and the students still got along
well with each other.
Algebra II teacher Cindy King said one
of the things she liked most about teaching
the students this year was how they inter-
acted with each other while learning many
math skills.
"I get the most out of my teaching when
I see students really working together and
understanding math," said King.
Math classes have always prepared stu-
dents well for all standardized tests, like the
FCAT.
Even though most students dreaded the
tests and exams, they all agree that they
took away many good math skills for their
future.
CONCENTRATION: Senior Chris Caro listens intently dur-
ing trigonometry class. "I have to focus or else I won't get a
thing on the homework," said Chris.

Future Blue Wave stars are emerging bright and
shining as they prepare for rigorous high school
academics. Middle school math and science are
two of the most important subjects in the prepa-
ration for high school courses. The middle school
team includes a line-up of teachers with years of
experience such as Mrs. Weller, Ms. Harrell and
Ms. Leismer, who all prepare the middle school stu-
dents for high school math.
Teachers who prepare the students for high
school science through various studies are Mr.
Steele, Mr. Hollinger and Ms. Bearman. All of these
teachers come to school day in and day out with
one goal in mind: the goal of preparing their middle
school students for a successful high school ca-
reer.
From Mr. Steele's rocket demonstration, to Mr.
Hollinger's mitosis dance, or Ms. Bearman's roller
coaster set-up; these activities may seem easy and
childish, but they create a fun way for students to
learn.

CRATER CREATIONS: While in the science lab, third

measure the diameter of the crater created when a marble is
dropped from a height of 100 centimeters.
For the first half of the year, elementary
students were taught science by Dr. Griff
Jones, who was also the high school phys-
ics teacher. Jones left at the end of first se-
mester to run an honors science program at
the University of Florida. Julie Brown took
over mid-year and excelled in teaching both
the elementary science and physics. She in-
terned with Jones last year.
"It's wonderful working with the elemen-
tary students," Brown said. "They are so
eager to learn more about science. Learn-
ing science young promotes great learning
habits."
Brown stated that she was really im-
pressed at how the students came into the
lab knowing their math. The elementary
teachers tried to incorporate math with sci-
ence depending on the students' level.
The elementary mathematics curriculum
changed depending on the grade. Most of
the first graders learned addition and sub-
traction, while the fifth graders learned mul-
tiplication and division.
"I like math because
its always fun and
easy. Multiplication
is my favorite."
Matt Clegg,

The high school English department came
on strong this year with three great new
teachers all with different backgrounds, re-
ally helping the students to learn about the
major focus of each English class.
Tom Beyer, the 12th grade English teach-
er and a huge Michigan football fan, was in
the Navy before coming to P.K.
Eric Lemstrom, the 11th grade English
teacher, taught at Interlachen before com-
ing to P.K.
"It is my favorite from all the other schools
I've taught at, and I feel like I can work well
with the people and get things done," Lem-
strom said.
Jane Schmidt, the tenth grade English
teacher, taught in Africa and Connecticut
before coming to P.K.
Freshman English teacher Jake Seymour
led the way with a year under his belt here.
With all the experience that has been
brought in this year in the English depart-
ment, they've developed a great team of
teachers for years to come.
CREATIVITY: Twelfth grade English teacher Tom Beyer's
creative writing students show off their brunches during
class. All year they had these meals, unlike most classes.
SEARCHING: Freshman Michelle
Blackwell looks for some informa-
tion on a character she is interested
in. Mr. Seymour's class challenged
students to find their own answers.
