Greetings from the Sunshine State! We are the 2nd Grade Stallions from Sessums Elementary in Riverview, Florida. We are located near Tampa, in the west central area of Florida. We enjoy year round sunshine with very hot summers and mild winters. We very rarely get freezing temperatures here. We like to swim, play soccer and baseball, go fishing and play outdoor sports. The state capital is Tallahassee. If you ever get the chance, come visit our great state!

Caption: The Manatees were once abundant in Florida coastal waters but now only about 1,000 remain in the wild. Once hunted to near extinction, they are now protected from hunters.
