I took some time this week to walk my campus and to sneak into some classrooms to check out the learning environments. It’s nice to see the work that’s happening. I’ve learned that walls can talk. These walls tell a story.#TPW

I had the opportunity to attend the Land O’ Lakes Kiwanis Club meeting tonight and witness Lecanto High School’s own Key Club member and Lt. Governor speak about why “Kids Need Kiwanis!” Ashlea Fernandez is a shining example of Panther leadership and community spirit.#TPW
