Head of School, Mark Heller, will be the target of more than 50 water balloons as the high school Honors Physics class takes aim at him during this year’s Projectile Motion Extravaganza. The fun begins at 8:45 am on Friday, April 17 on the McCormick Campus west lawn. Mr. Heller will anchor his boat approximately 100 meters from the school’s shoreline on Myrtle Lake. Student teams will use a lacrosse goal outfitted with a sling to launch the balloons at their target. Each team will adjust the velocity and trajectory of the balloons to get closer and closer to a direct hit!In this “hands-on” experiment, students will determine the correct angle and speed needed to project an object a specific distance. Students also learn first-hand how the forces of gravity affect an object’s path. Mr. Heller emerged victorious last year with no direct hits. Will he stay dry this year? This year’s student teams are more determined than ever to make sure he doesn’t. _____________________ Scroll Down ____________________Softball at Cambridge at Academy at the Lakes

During the course of the academic year many events and traditions unique to each House occur. The House Field Day event engages all the Houses in field events and competitions designed to build a sense of community and leadership. Each of the Houses is composed of students in grades K-12 who compete with each other in foot races, relays, games, an opening parade, and other related events. The Opening Parade is a sea of color - all students wearing the color of their House in preparation for the day's events. Observers view high school seniors holding the hands of Kindergarten students within their House. Healthy competition and a strong sense of community abounds!

Here -------------------------------------------------------------- Academy at the Lakes and Florida make their six-man tackle football debut Academy at the Lakes, in Land O’ Lakes, ushered in a new era in the schools history and in Florida’s history, by playing in their first six-man tackle football game on Friday, August 18th at their home field on the corner of state road 41 and Central Avenue, one mile south of Hwy. 52. Six-man football is played much like regular football, with a few changes, making for an exciting contest. The game is ideal for smaller schools. In Friday’s battle against Hillsborough Baptist from Seffner, the Academy Wildcats fell behind midway through the first quarter 8-0. The hard-hitting contest was exciting as the Wildcats took the lead by halftime 18-8, and added another TD early in the third quarter to increase the lead to 25-8. Hillsborough added another score in the fourth period to make the final score 25-15. Daniel Kwitko caught two passes for touchdowns and Tyler Palmer ran two in and threw one TD to Kwitko. Ross Braddock led the defense with three interceptions. All around it was an aggressive game by both teams and a good team win. The Academy’s next game is Friday August 25th at home against Lighthouse Christian from Kissimmee. Academy Families and Faculty: Friday night’s football game was amazing. Coach Arbet and his staff had the kids ready and fired up to begin the season. Once they shook the jitters off, things went well. The final score was 25-14, the Wildcats over Hillsborough Baptist. It was wonderful to see so much support for the program, and equally gratifying to have so much help. I want to thank everyone for all his or her efforts. Events like Friday don’t happen without many people contributing, and I thank everyone! Best of all we get to do it again this Friday when the Wildcats take on Lighthouse Christian at 7:30 in a home contest. Thanks again for everyone’s contribution. Bob Kamps
Academy at the Lakes vs Lighthouse Christian. Week 2 In the Academy’s second home game, which was against Lighthouse Christian Phoenix from Kissimmee, the Wildcats took an early 18-0 lead in the second quarter. The first score occurred on a Tyler Palmer run after a drive by the Wildcats. A long touchdown pass to Daniel Kwitko from Freddy Santory and a fumble recovery by Kwitko that was run in for a TD before half were the big plays. The Phoenix fought back in the second half with a fumble recovery for a TD and another score to cut the lead to 18-12. Lighthouse threatened the second half, but the Academy defense each time turned them back. The game was hard fought, but marred by many fumbles. The Wildcats visit Haven Christian this Fri in a duel between two undefeated teams Academy traveled to Haven Christian in what promised to be an exciting match up between two undefeated teams. Academy found the end zone first, driving down the field with Tyler Palmer running it in for the first score. Palmer ended the game with 208 yds rushing. Academy had the opportunity to go up by two touch downs before half time but Daniel Kwitko was hit out of bounds at the one yard line after a long run on a reception. Kwitko wound up with 78 yds receiving and Ross Braddock added 40. Freddy Santory ended the game with 83 passing yds. After a penalty and fumble, Haven took control of the ball. Haven had some big plays that put them up for good. A kick off and punt were run back for scores. Academy had a chance at the end of the game trailing by 7 with less than a minute to go, Haven had a forth down inside their 10 yd line. With 70 yards to go all the Wildcats had to do was hold for one more play and they would have a few chances to score, but Haven Christian broke some tackles and ran it in for the final score 41-27. Academy at the Lakes vs Hope Christian In this week’s game against Hope Christian at Kissimmee, our Academy Wildcats started the game off on fire after a short weather delay. After shutting down Hope, the Academy took control at Hope Christian’s 21 yd line. Three running plays later Tyler Palmer put Academy on the score board. He also ran in the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Shane Arbet added another TD in the second quarter, with Palmer running in the extra point for a 14-0 lead. Hope shut down the Academy the rest of the way and added a touch down of their own, on a long pass play. The final score was Academy 14 -Hope Christian 6.
