This week, I had the privilege of celebrating so many incredible educators across our district. Thanks to our generous business partners, many of our teachers were surprised with special tokens of appreciation.

While Teacher Appreciation Week gives us a special opportunity to recognize them, the truth is our educators deserve to feel celebrated, respected, and valued every single day.

To each of our teachers: thank you for the heart, dedication, and love you pour into your students and school communities. The impact you make reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

I was proud to be at Beachside Elementary for the unveiling of a new book vending machine 📚

Thanks to Commissioner Ken Strickland, Family Health Source, and the Daytona Beach Kiwanis, students now have another meaningful way to get books in their hands.

Opportunities like this help build excitement around reading and support strong early literacy habits for our students. Grateful to be part of a community that continues to invest in children.
