Beachside Elementary celebrated the last day of school on Friday, May 31, by turning two school administrators and three teachers into ice cream sundaes.
To celebrate students who scored a level 3, 4 or 5 on its latest state standardized assessment, the school allowed them the chance to select a sundae ingredient to pour on Principal Leigh Prokop, Assistant Principal Melissa Cleveland, Coach Jamie Frye, Teacher of the Year Melissa Heller and fifth grade teacher Debbie Treur.
"Their choices were ice cream, chocolate syrup or sprinkles," a statement to the Observer read. "As you can see, our students thoroughly enjoyed turning these individuals into human sundaes!"
The school also held a clap-out for high school grads who attended Osceola or Ortona Elementary, the former schools that were merged to create Beachside. Additionally, Kindergarten teacher Julie Via was recognized as she is retiring. Via taught kindergarten for 37 years.
