Help us celebrate and wish Laura Lofton a very happy retirement after 26 years of dedicated service with The Hendry County School District!

Laura finished her career within our ESE and Student Services Department, where she passionately supported students with disabilities and continuously provided an abundance of resources, guidance, and support to our families and community. Her compassion and dedication have touched countless lives throughout the years.

Laura has always been an active and valued member of our team, consistently supporting our mission of bringing our schools and community closer together. Whether it was helping build floats and participating in the Swamp Cabbage Parade, supporting Family Engagement Day, or serving as one of the leaders for Special Olympics, Laura always showed up with a servant’s heart and a smile. Those are just a few examples of the many ways she has poured into our district and community over the years.

Thank you, Laura, for your years of commitment, leadership, kindness, and unwavering dedication to students, families, and staff. Your impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.

Wishing you endless happiness, relaxation, and blessings in this next chapter of retirement — you have truly earned it! ❤️
