They’re Giffen Gators, and they’re superheroes when it comes to building fundamental literacy skills!

On Friday, Giffen Memorial Elementary School invited students and staff to wear a superhero shirt to celebrate how well they are doing in meeting milestones in phonics, phonological awareness, word study and other parts of their Lexia supplemental lessons.

These pre-K and kindergarten students had a blast posing for pictures with superhero photo props, and they received plenty of hugs and high-fives from Griffen the Gator.
