One last congratulation to the Class of 2022!

One last congratulation to the Class of 2022!

Here are some additional moments I captured from last week’s high school graduations.
Special thanks to all our district and school teams that work so hard everyday setting up and breaking down and moving to the next school to make these moments possible!

More Happy Retirements

More Happy Retirements

Many wonderful retirement celebrations have continued this week which is the custom for this time of year. One of those I attended today was for two wonderful educators from Citrus Springs Elementary School. Donna Scott and The Queen of Speech, Shauna Parrish. Collectively they have provided over 50 years of service to thousands of students. They both cared for my children in elementary school. I am so grateful to them for their impact on our school and school district. God Bless you in retirement, and God Bless and thank you to all our retirees!

 

Citrus Blessings’ mission continues, how we began

Citrus Blessings’ mission continues, how we began

As our summer school holidays begin Citrus County Blessings is transitioning into our Summer Feeding program. As a member of the Board of Directors, I am often asked about how Citrus County Blessings began. What better way to learn about it than directly from Citrus Blessings Founder, Debbie Lattin. Follow the link below to watch the video.

Thank you Ms. Lattin for founding this great organization.

Chronicle STAR Athletic Recognition Awards

“I’ve got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.” – Larry Bird

Tonight was Citrus County’s premier student-athletic event, the Chronicle STAR Athletic Recognition Awards. Approximately 70 student-athletes from public, charter and private schools were honored for their accomplishments in the 2021-2022 school year.

Congratulations to all the student-athletes! Thank you to the families and parents who support and sacrifice for these young people. Thank you to the coaches and athletic directors who help to bring out the best in our student-athletes both in athletic competitions and in academic successes.
