A State of Florida Designated
SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE
HOME OF THE OWLS!
Mascot History: The bird was employed proverbially and figuratively in reference to nocturnal habits, ugliness, and appearance of gravity and wisdom (often ironic).
Wise as an owl means the person being described is very wise, and probably knows a lot of information.

"Racism is Taking Over"
by
Me'Yauney Peoples
Save the world right now
Racism is horrible
People are killing
This needs to stop
Too many lives are leaving
No equality
People are judging
By the color of your skin
Not by who you are
This is horrible
This really has to end now
Time to save the world
