Good Morning Gators

GMG was a television show we had at my high school. Along side a friend of mine, we co anchored a segment on the show called "Fun Fridays with Sam and Kat" because the show only viewed on Friday mornings. On this segment we would give fun facts about anything that was relevant at the time and share them with the students at our school.
