Chris Lennon, Staff Assistant in Outreach, shares his favorite memory at FSDB below:
"My favorite memory is playing basketball after school with the students when I worked in McLane Hall. It was a special way I bonded with them, and even now, I often talk about that day whenever I see them."

Dinner and a Show!
As we enter the homestretch of the school year, celebrations and performances are in full swing. Thursday evening was double the fun as we hosted our annual Teacher of the Year, School‑Related Employee of the Year, and (new this year) Rookie Teacher of the Year dinner.
Honorees, along with their families, friends, and colleagues, gathered for a delicious Italian dinner and heartfelt presentations recognizing our newly honored staff. The evening was made even more special with the presence of four members of our Board of Trustees, who joined us ahead of the following day’s board meeting.
After dinner, we headed next door to enjoy the Blind Department’s Spring Performance. The acting and singing were outstanding!!! Performances ranged from deeply moving moments to laughter that brought tears Oh! and there was LOTS of confetti!! It was truly a wonderful way to end a memorable evening.

The Off‑Campus Work Experience course continues to positively support student development, as demonstrated by SOAR student, Mr. Burgess, and his progress throughout the school year. Through his participation, he has shown increased confidence, improved professional skills, and a clearer understanding of the areas he wishes to strengthen. He consistently demonstrates motivation, initiative, and a willingness to take on new challenges, while also making notable gains in self‑advocacy by clearly communicating his needs, goals, and interests. This growth has helped him remain focused and intentional in preparing for his post‑FSDB transition, highlighting the course’s effectiveness in building real‑world readiness, independence, and transferable career skills.

College planning in action! 🎓✨
Today, our SOAR students built their own sample college schedules while learning about credit hours, required courses, electives, and prerequisites. It was a great hands-on way to make the college experience feel a little more real (and a lot less intimidating)!

On Monday, March 30, I had the pleasure and honor of serving on a panel of educational leaders at Flagler College’s “Shape Your Future” Kickoff Event which was a student‑focused experience designed to encourage learning, collaboration, and professional engagement.
This year’s theme, “Emerging Trends in the Field,” sparked great conversation during our panel discussion and luncheon, held in the beautiful and historic Markland House. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with Flagler juniors and seniors as they asked thoughtful questions about reducing interview jitters, crafting effective interview responses, and whether to participate in coaching or sponsoring a club during their first year of teaching.
Thank you to Professor Cheryl McCarthy for the invitation, and to Dr. Brennan Asplen, Superintendent of St. Johns County, and fellow district leaders for sharing your insights. It is always a joy giving back to the profession I love by supporting future educators.

Today, the grades K-3 at BES participated in their annual Beeping Egg Hunt at Kids Town. The students wore blindfolds and goggles to ensure everyone had equal access while searching for the eggs. Once all the eggs were collected, the students counted them to see who had found the most. Afterwards, they enjoyed some goodies and snacks. This event is always special to the students, and they look forward to it each year.
