🍎📚 As we get ready to welcome our little Bobcats 🐾 back to school, Florence Elementary is asking for your support in a different way this year!

💙 Every donation—big or small—makes a difference and helps support our students. Thank you for supporting Florence Elementary and our amazing Bobcat community! 🐾❤️

💦 What an incredible day at Florence Elementary! 💦

Today, our students had the exciting opportunity to welcome Ed Bieber and his partner, known as “Ed the Diver,” to the School District of Florence!

Together, they shared real-life underwater adventures exploring lakes and rivers across Wisconsin, showing students the unique treasures they’ve recovered—from fishing gear and phones to all kinds of unexpected items hiding beneath the surface. Even more importantly, they helped our students understand the importance of protecting our waterways and keeping them clean.

Our Bobcats were fully engaged as they:
🌊 Explored real treasures found underwater
🐟 Learned what’s really beneath the surface of our local lakes and rivers
♻️ Discovered how they can help care for the environment

This was a fun, hands-on learning experience that truly made an impact!

💚💛 A big thank you to our PTO for organizing this fantastic event and bringing this opportunity to our students! We appreciate your continued support in creating memorable learning experiences.
