Students in my A3 participating in "jumping the Gator", a tradition in my class. They step on the gator's back and make a wish for their 8th grade self. Once across, they are in middle school. On the last day of 8th grade they can step on the gator's back nd wish for something in their 12th grade year. At that point they become high schoolers.
