It has been awesome getting out to Fort Braden for their most recent two community events this summer: Leon County Sheriff’s First Responders Fun Day (July 20) and the Back to School Bash (August 2). It was wonderful being able to talk to parents, families, and community members and share in the fun!

I always love having the opportunity to speak with parents and families and getting to truly know them. I have had the pleasure of listening to parents and community members share their experiences with our schools which is an integral part of serving as a district leader. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. 💙
