Congratulations to the TOY & SPOY at Galaxy of the Stars

Congratulation to this year’s Citrus County Teacher of the Year is Kyle Jaecks of Central Ridge Elementary and Support person of the Year is Jennifer Woods of Lecanto Primary.

What an amazing evening we had at the annual ‘Galaxy of the Stars’ celebrating our Teachers and Support persons of the year sponsored by the Citrus County Education Foundation (CCEF). This event gives us the great privilege of honoring these impressive professionals.

This year’s Citrus County Teacher of the Year is Kyle Jaecks a 5th grade teacher at Central Ridge Elementary and the Support person of the Year is Jennifer Woods the technology aide for Lecanto Primary.

I was honored to be asked this year to give the Invocation.  This event gives us an opportunity to not only honor each of you, but by honoring you, also honor all those that work in and support education. I want to share with you the words I share that evening.

I want to thank CCEF for putting together another superb event honoring these excellent educators.  I also want to thank the many CCEF sponsors, supporters and volunteers that contribute to making this special event.

Galaxy of the Stars Invocation by Thomas Kennedy

“This evening we celebrate our amazing staff and teachers who work tirelessly each day to positively impact the lives of our students and those they work with. Thank you for blessing us with these individuals.

We ask that you continue to bless our great School District, our Superintendent and the Executive team, our Departments, school administrators, district and school staff members, teachers, aides, secretaries, maintenance workers, bus drivers, custodians, and students & their families.

Please Give our Legislators in Tallahassee common sense and understanding and intervene when they do, when they should not.

Protect our offices, schools, classrooms and buses.

God you have entrusted us as stewards of your students and it is a calling that we do not take lightly. Give us the strength to teach, inspire, encourage and love each of our students each and every day.

AMEN“
